MUSIC

The Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Charlie Montague & Band. “Bandera is every bit my inspiration” says Charlie whose family settled in the area in the 1850’s. Charlie’s music is all of that: old west, cowboy, dance hall, full of character and fun. If you want a true taste of Texas from a real up and comer then this is a do not miss show.

Charlie Montague VI has more Texas Hill Country rhythm & boots running through his veins than the beer soaked souls floating down the Guadalupe River at near high tide. And he comes by it honest. The Montague family helped settle the area around Bandera Texas in the 1850s and spent the next century and a half banking, ranching, building, entertaining and churching with every generation of any family that came to the Bandera area.

The musical heritage in the Montague family was being extended by Charlie VI’s brother as well as several of his cousins as Charlie VI grew up. At 16, he finally borrowed his brother's guitar and learned a few chords from his cousins Frank and Steele. Now his whole world would become the stage. And Charlie VI’s world was pasture parties, bonfires, campfires and any other gathering of friends and foes.

Charlie would spontaneously write and sing songs about whoever was present - usually ripping on them for something they had either done or was rumored to have done -or should have done. He continued jamming with his family and friends through the years and Charlie Montague VI’s love for his musical heritage and the influence of growing up in the fertile musical soil of the Texas hill country and the Montague family ranch has created a musical style that is relevant, authentic and honest.
