Montana Skies - The Cello-Guitar fusion!

Their name is a metaphor for musical freedom (according to their website). And when you listen to their music you will definitely agree. Jonathan (Classical Guitar) and Jennifer (Cello) are the duo that comprises Montana Skies. A duo that is unique, talented and quite mesmerizing to hear. Their music is pretty much similar to drugs/alcohol (or whatever way you like getting intoxicated). Montana Skies' music will please your ears, take you on a high and will make sure you sway one way or another.
Jonathan's Guitar playing is quite scrumptious (Yes, you read that right. It is bloody delicious) and his feel is full of flamboyance and resplendence. What amazes me about his technique is the ease by which he pulls off his playing. It looks way too easy and effortless (and mind you, it really isn't).
Jennifer's Cello playing has the perfect pinch of aggression and smoothness to make sure that the music hits the perfect musical spot. Her melody lines and phrasing is serene and well as bold. It is quite lovely when you hear John and Jen's (Yes they're also called like that) playing. Their music is something that will hit you instantly and about 10 seconds into any of their songs you will probably find yourself in a parallel universe of sorts.You can find more music on their website and you can also purchase the album from there. Don't think twice. Go for it.
Finding the right video to put here was quite difficult, I can assure you. All their songs are so nicely done. After a lot of thought and what not I have decided to show you their version of Pink Floyd's - Another Brick In The Wall.
