Monty Byrom (born 1958) is an American rock, blues and country guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer.[1] He fronted the rock band Billy Satellite and wrote hit songs for Eddie Money.[2] Later while leading the "soul country" band Big House, Byrom made a significant contribution to the new Bakersfield Sound, with a nod to his Bakersfield roots.[3]

Early life

Byrom was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and raised in Bakersfield, California.[3] His original musical influences were Merle Haggard, Billy Mize, Buck Owens, Otis Redding, and Bobby Womack.[4]

When he was seventeen, he joined the United States Navy.[4] After attending the Norfolk Navy School of Music, he played in the Navy band, performing at high schools and collages across the United States.[4]

Although Bakersfield had a rising country music scene, he grew to prefer the music of Eric Clapton, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Deep Purple, Jim Hendrix, and Santana.[5] After the Navy, he played in a Bay Area band, The Heaters.[5] In the 1980s, he played with the Dead Family.[3]

Career

Billy Satellite

In the early 1980s, Byrom was a founding member of the Almeda, California band Billy Satellite.[6][2] He provided lead vocals and played guitar and keyboards for the Album-oriented rock band.[6] He also co-wrote the band's songs.[1] The band signed with Capital Records by John S. Carter in 1983.[5][4] Their album, Billy Satellite, was produced by Don Gehman and recorded at Rumbo Recorders in Los Angeles.[6] The band toured with Night Ranger and Jefferson Starship in support of the album which yield two minor hits.[5] Although recorded, the band's second album was never released and they were dropped Capital. Bill Satellite broke up shortly afterwards.[6]

New Frontier

After Billy Satellite, Byrom formed the band New Frontier which Glenn Letsch (Gamma) on bass, Marc Nelson on drums, and David Neuhauser on keyboards.[5] The band signed with MIKA Records, an imprint of Polydor Records, and released a self-titled album in 1987.[5] Because all of its members were involved in other bands and projects, this group was short lived.[7]

Eddie Money

Byrom began writing songs for Eddie Money, after the latter had a hit with a cover "I Wanna Go Back" by Billy Satellite—and co-written by Byrom.[5] Money's version of "I Wanna Go Back" received the ASCAP/BMI Song of the Year Award, based on airplay.[3] He also toured with Money's band for several years.[3]

Byrom was the producer, engineer, and mixer on Money's 1991 album Right Here, along with providing backing vocals and playing guitar and keyboards.[1] He also co-work six of the album's ten tracks, including "Another Nice Day in L.A.," "Fall In Love Again," "Fire and Water," "Prove It Every Night," "She Takes My Breath Away," and "Things Are Much Better Today."[8] He also produced and played guitar on Money's 1992 release Unplug It In.[1]

Big House

Following a gathering of musicians in Bakersfield in the mid-1990s, Byrom founded the country music band, Big House, with David Neuhauser from New Frontier.[5][3] The duo shared song-writing for the band, and Byrom played guitar and sang lead vocals.[9][1] Byrom's brother, Tanner, was also a member of Big House, playing the drums.[10] They signed with MCA Nashville and released three albums between 1997 and 2000, including Big House, Travelin' Kind, and Woodstock Nation.[11][10] Their fourth album, Never Ending Train, was released in 2008.[9] He produced all four of the band's albums.[1] They were nominated for a Academy of Country Music Award for top new vocal duet or group in 1998.[12][3] They also had four Top 40 Country hits, including "Cold Outside" and "You Ain't Lonely Yet."[4][13]

The Buckaroos

After the death of his friend Buck Owns, Byrom was invited to join Buck Owens' band The Buckaroos at The Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California, fronting the band one weekend a month.[11] Byrom played with The Buckaroos for thirteen years, from 2007 to 2019.[14] Upon leaving the group, he said, 'Thirteen years and time to move on. I'm gong to miss those boys and Jennifer [Keel, backing singer], that's for sure. Finally, at the end, it just came down to…time to move on."[14] One of the reasons he quit was because of the increasing success of The Byrom Brothers.[14]

The Road Pilots

In 2012, Byrom formed the Zen Road Pilots with Tom "Fee" Falletti and Ira Walker, former bandmates from Billy Satellite.[2] The band recorded one self-titled album.[2] Changing its name to Monty Bynum and The Road Pilots, this five-piece band played Americana infused rock and soul in the old school tradition.[3] They released 100 Miles South of Eden in 2016.[3]

The Byrom Brothers

The Road Pilots became The Byrom Brothers, which includes his brother and Big House drummer Tanner Byrom.[14][3] Byram plays guitar and sings lead vocals.[13] The band also includes studio musician Wil Anderson on bass and keyboardist Chris Neufeld who was a member of The Road Pilots and also played with Eddie Money.[3][13] Their current release, an album of covers titled The Age Of Music, was released in 2016.[15]

Other

In 1984, he provided backing vocals for Barbara Streisand on her album, Emotion.[1] The producer of that track was Don Felder (Eagles) who mentored Byrom, leading to other projects with major acts.[3] As a result, Byrom wrote songs that were recorded by Rita Coolidge, Ace Frehley, Beth Hart, The Knack, Greg Rolie, David Lee Roth, Stray Cats, George Thorogood, Van Halen, Walela, and Waylon.[1][3]

In 1992, he played guitar and provided backing vocals for Danny Tate's self-named album.[1] He also played guitar on recordings by J'Son, New Frontier, and Kathy Troccoli.[1] In addition, he produced and played instruments on albums for Jay Boy Adams, Jared Tyler, and Ted Z & the Wranglers.[1]

He also worked on numerous movie and film soundtracks, including Blackdog, The Kids Are Alright, Made in America, The Slugger’s Wife, Secret Admirer, and Sunset Beat.[3][1]
