MARK MONTIJO

With a John Prine-like knack for sharp wit and unpretentious storytelling. Mark Montijo builds beautiful bridges between the deeply personal and universally relatable. American Songwriter Magazine called the title track of his album HISTORY “remarkable,” and two-time Grammy Award winner Rodney Crowell could only offer the word “congratulations” when he attempted to critique it. The songs on Montijo's most recent release IF I GET TO HEAVEN are equally rewarding, knitting images and commentary into stories that are simultaneously musical and conversational; each track unique, yet somehow connected. One of the tunes, “Someone Can Fly” earned him an Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting Award at the 19th Annual Great American Song Contest.
