Over the past 2 decades singer, producer, and humble guitarist Richard Montefiore has been raising a family and largely working in his home studio, often at an intense pace. Currently, his focus remains on creative songwriting and production for digital media distribution. Individual and collaborative works often appear on Spotify, Itunes, as well as the Kunaki and Jamendo distribution networks. "Richmont" is the current, "no-frills" collaboration platform; although Richard has also done projects under the enigmatic moniker "Dreamhenge".
Those earlier projects included journeyman solo and ensemble work on the Cincinnati club scene, fronting such bands as “The Hollow” in the mid-’80s at places like Bogart's, and the now gone but forever infamous "Sudsy Malone's" laundry and bar. As a younger man, Rich enjoyed musical theater, as well as fronting choral showcase events. He also led choral presentations in a liturgical setting.
Currently, Richard collaborates worldwide with digital artists such as Steven Hewitt of "Out Of Orion", Wendy Grondzil, and Julian Rivera of "Black Ether".

Indivisible (An American Anthem)
An anthem reminding us of true american values and how we should treat others. Some proceeds benefit Raices. "Mission The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES)serves immigrants and refugees in our community by providing immigration-related legal services, advocacy and opportunities for educational and social support. We believe that by actively promoting the well-being and informed participation of immigrants and refugees in the community, everyone benefits."

Lay it down
Lay it Down is about Duty, and not becoming a slave to it. We all carry burdens which began as duties we assigned ourselves. Sometimes we loose sight of larger needs and continue slavishly to push the boulder up the hill, not realizing there’s nothing we currently need or want at our goal. This tune suggests resting and re assessing those priorities.

Hi
It's been along time. Still loving what you do. Hope you are well.

I'll be in Whitby for the summer holidays - it's about 70 miles from here, or thereabouts. We'll visit the ruined abbey on the hill, overlooking the bay where Bram Stoker's Dracula landed all those years ago... I'll even post some photos to take you back to your roots.

Take care
Al
