Deep Ellum Art Company Presents: The Montvales with Sarah JohnsonThe Montvales
Born and raised in Knoxville, TN, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson of songwriter duo The Montvales spent much of their formative years busking amidst the Elvis impersonators and musical saw players of the town’s Market Square, honing their uniquely boisterous harmonies and driving, joyful sound. Eventually they graduated to playing indoors on the local Americana radio station, WDVX, and found community in old-time circles around town. A local fiddler’s dairy cows were among the first intrepid listeners of their early DIY recordings. After moving away for several years to seek their fortunes separately, Molly and Sally finally reunited in 2019 to write and record their first album, Heartbreak Summer Camp. The two now make their home in Cincinnati, OH, spending their days touring extensively and crafting intimate, storytelling-driven songs that explore the joys and perils of self-determination. Their upcoming album, Born Strangers, is produced by Mike Eli LoPinto (producer and co-writer of Emily Nenni’s “On the Ranch”, guitarist for Chris Stapleton) and recorded in Sean Sullivan’s Tractor Shed Studio in Nashville. The twelve songs careen recklessly across the whole folk-country spectrum, showcasing The Montvales’ distinctive harmonies and building a sonic world just expansive and surprising enough to hold the wide-eyed existentialism of the stories and questions raised by the lyrics.
Sarah Johnson
Sarah Johnson is the all-inclusive and ever-elusive definition of an Americana Singer-Songwriter with undertones of Nashville, Montana, and Texas. No matter the scale of her stage she captivates the place with her dynamic ability to be raw and vulnerable with her crowd.Sarah Johnson can do what most artists aim to do-be vulnerable, be authentic and be herself. Being a long-time singer-songwriter she always had the spark to create music, but she gave oxygen to the flame when she penned her feelings about a painful breakup; she leaned into that heart-wrenching experience with vulnerability, never holding back detail to deliver the full intimate experience of the feelings associated with pain, that we know, all too well. Alongside producer Beau Patrick Bedford and Modern Electric Sound Recorders (Paul Cauthen, Frankie Leonie, David Ramirez, Nikki Lane), Sarah Johnson took to the road to find comfort and healing, recorded an album, and became a staple in the Dallas music scene. She created a platform for other female singer-songwriters to have a place to showcase their work, birthing Girls of DFW; Sarah Johnson partnered with Boarded Up Foundation to lend her time and talent to their mission.
