Montecito

This journey started for us over 40 years ago when 3 boys from Fairview, Texas became friends for life.  Growing up together, we spent most of our time running the streets and playing in the creek around the neighborhood of Montecito.  Fast forward a few years later to the cafeteria at the high school in Allen, Texas when we got the bright idea that it was time to put our first band together.  We threw in a couple of other guys and Aerial was born. 

            After a few bands and a lot of years, the 3 of us reunited in 2014, forming a band made of up all the ingredients from our childhood, our influences and our mistakes.  Wanting to honor the old neighborhood where this journey began, we decided Montecito was the perfect name.

            Today, after adding Benny to the mix, Montecito is still going strong playing around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  For the last 2 years, we have poured our energy into our first album project and are excited for the recently released debut album, Texas Jam.  This album represents our Southern/Texas rock sound and our Eagles, Blackberry Smoke, Refreshments, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash influences can be heard in every song. 

            What started out for the 3 of us as a high school garage band, has evolved into more than just a band.  This has become buddies laughing like old times, counseling in hard times and having a hell of a time on this adventure.
