Singer/Songwriter
Montgomery Warren Grose is a singer/songwriter who has been writing and performing since he was 15. Born in Ajax ON, he has travelled and lived in various places throughout Canada and the US. He co-wrote and performed the music for a production of Alice in Wonderland in Halifax NS for Theatre 1707 and has played in a number of bands throughout the years. He settled in Vancouver in 1979, producing four albums of original material, one of which was created for children.
Working for the Vancouver School Board for 18 years as a Student Support Worker, Montgomery wrote and performed songs for the students he worked with, as a learning aid for all the subjects in the curriculum. He also wrote and directed a musical version of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” for the students of a special needs class to perform in.
Currently, Montgomery is producing and posting videos of his songs on social media platforms.
It has been said that words are merely “a virus from outer space” or “just complicated air flow”. Both of these statements may be true, to a certain extent, but there is also a magic in words when arranged in such a way as to communicate a unique thought or feeling that would otherwise have been left unexpressed. In my opinion, that would be a deprivation for us all.
