Following on from the 7 years of constant touring that fuelled the EP 'Traveller, Monty's first 2 years as a father have defied him to delve deeply into what slowing down might uncover.
Embracing change, reinventing life, and connecting to the source are themes that drive Monty's full-length debut, out this spring. With his world challenged and capacities stretched, Bevins goes about digging riches of a reflective and humbled kind, building an arc, across 10 tracks, of a moving journey into fatherhood.

Monty Bevins is a New Zealand based singer-songwriter known as a touching, spirited performer, whose soul-folk songs ask the big questions while telling the small stories. With a warm rich voice and articulate guitar grooves, Monty digs out and distills themes of tenderness, personal revolution and adventure.
An artistic gem is what I'd call Monty. Heart, soul and pure elbow grease are what go into making his song writing so special, the audience feels as though they are settling in with an old friend.
