REVIEWS:
"From gritty foot-stompers to jangly roots and blues belters to acoustic melancholy, Warren brims with a rare and raw musical sincerity."—Vex Magazine, Calgary, CANADA

"Retroactively bridges the gap between '70s pub rock/power pop and the arrivals of Tom Petty, Graham Parker and Elvis Costello…effortlessly enjoyable, a virtue without expiration."—Indy Week

"Old-school, Beatles-Stones-Dylan-Band-Dead-Prince-inspired, psychedelic-white soul-funky roots rock...as earnest, lyrical, raunchy or grandiose as their songs—and maybe lives—require."Jazz Beyond Jazz (Howard Mandel's Arts Journal Blog)

BIO: Instead of heading for L.A. in the '70s, in pursuit of a record deal, Monty Warren put his rock 'n' roll dreams on hold to support his mother for 20 years until she passed away. Then, in 2007, Warren played a demo for Terry Anderson & The Olympic Ass-Kickin' Team (Battleship Chains, I Love You Period), and they offered to help him make a record. And the rest, as they say, is Friggin' Whatevers history.

How was it having MWFW Collaborator Phil Wolff from Spain last month? Friggin' Fantastic!



Swampgrass Willy's in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. will never be the same!

Phil Wolff, visiting rocker from Spain, joined Monty and the Whatevers to bring the house down with original tunes off the MWFW albums, including Hey Junkman! which Phil sings with Monty on the album Far Out Close Up (2016). Phil was in town to collaborate with Monty on their 2018 album: Two Badasses. 

The bittersweet show included a tribute to Tom Petty with heartfelt covers.
