"Montgomery’s rock roots bring together this edgy energized collection with a raw passion. It works and it’s superb. The more than twenty years and four studio albums, film credits, and stage appearances with superbly talented musicians, grounds and solidifies Deb Montgomery in the rock industry.”

Sherryl Craig, Nashville Music Guide, "Folk Rock Artist Deb Montgomery Releases New EP All The Water To Rave Reviews"

​

"Through five wonderfully melancholy tracks, Deb Montgomery clearly defines her intent; and that is to be one of the greatest working singer-songwriters today. And mark my words—she is well on her way...That said, it doesn’t get any better than “Hold On”. This is a Top 40 single. There is no question. The chorus is seriously begging to be sang along with. In anticipation of the October 13th release of All The Water, “Hold On” will sit on repeat."

Joe Hughes, Alternative Nation

​

"On her new EP, All the Water, Deb Montgomery digs in the dirt while reaching a new height of passion, musicality, and connection with her audience. The five dirges that comprise her newest effort drip with an engulfing sound that lifts up, while never overpowering the emotionality of her voice. Although at times intimate and mournful, her songs are lifted by an ambitious arrangement of tightly composed music. At the center of the EP, her voice powerfully and confidently delivers the central melodies. As a musician, singer, songwriter, and band leader, Montgomery has never been on more confident footing, and with good reason. The EP is a career achievement and an advancement on an already impressive catalogue of songs."

Elijah Dhaaven, Rain City Collective (Seattle, WA)

“Deb Montgomery showcases an electric evolution on her new EP titled All the Water. The Seattle folk-rocker channels the virtue of Neil Young, the bravado of Patti Smith and the vulnerability of Conor Oberst on this tender yet triumphant five song EP.”

"Wonderfully shaped with both delicacy and muscularity, All the Water is one of this year’s must-listen-to gifts from a brilliant artist – Deb Montgomery."

Randall Radic, Tattoo.com

​

"I wouldn't call these songs catchy as much as they are infectious.   If you're not sure of the difference then just listen to these with an open mind and you'll find yourself singing along with them whether or not you want to. I know I can't seem to stop listening to it..."

Joshua Macala, Raised by Gypsies ::

"With her latest EP, Montgomery uses tactile imagery to personify various trials, tribulations, and triumphs in a way that we can all relate, through connection to the inevitable processes of the natural world. Well crafted and heartfelt."

Jon C. Ireson, MusicNews.com

​

"Montgomery’s clear, supple vocals are mixed righto up front (as they should be) but the muscular instrumentation gives heft to the overall feel. A Neil-Young-simple, understated electric guitar is the icing on the cake.The five-song release closes with Montgomery stripping away all of the instrumentation, leaving only her supple voice (exuding vulnerability) and a lone, quiet electric guitar. All the Water is brief yet varied, and enjoyable start to finish."

Bill Kopp, Musoscribe.com

​

"Deb Montgomery’s music brings rock music together with deeply moving lyrics blended seamlessly by the force of her voice. This EP thrusts the listener into a deeper examination of life, an exercise rooted in love, compassion and open eyed honesty. After all, the unexamined life is not worth living; so, why not rock while you’re at it?"

Loree Lawrence, Grants Officer, Ontario Arts Council (Toronto, Ontario)

​

"Deb Montgomery's newest EP, All The Water, is reminiscent of a dreamy landscape from my childhood: a place I have never been and want to go back to.  Her live performance continues the experience and grabs hold from the beginning with intention and serves to bring you on an unexpected ride from the quiet spaces inside exposing raw emotionally intensity; one can't help to engage and became part of the experience from beginning to end."

Michelle Searle, Booker Columbia City Theatre (Seattle, WA)

​

"Seeing Deb live, it all makes sense. Her songs and her performance are at once classic and fresh. She has a relaxed and self-assured way of drawing us in and beguiling us throughout her set and we’re left with a feeling that we have just experienced something great. There is power in her performance."

Sheldon Rosevear, Conor Byrne (Seattle, WA)

​

"The magic of All the Water is that Montgomery continues to effortlessly meld ferocity and vulnerability, washing over each other in beautiful, complex waves of emotion and insight. When she calls out in her songs for redemption, we can hear that she wants beauty, purpose, and freedom not only for herself – but for all of us, too."

Heather Blakeslee, Founder Red Pen Arts (Philadelphia, PA)

​

"All the Water begins as a quiet headwater, and finishes with a roar—raw, tender, fierce and true. This is the one."

Linda Keene, Artist and Writer (Seattle, WA)

​

"Deeply personal, All the Water takes you on a journey. But even amidst the loss, grief, rising waters and scorched earth, Deb and the band always remind us to hold on."

Trevor Lyon, Everson Pines (Seattle, WA)
