Montana Skies, a guitar and cello duo known around the world, is planning to perform at the Green Creek Winery on May 3. The duo features eclectic styles (from finger-picking to flamenco) within contemporary music. They are made up of husband and wife Jonathan Adams on guitars (steel string and Spanish/nylon) and Jennifer Adams on cellos (acoustic cello and a custom six-string electric cello).

Their debut recording, &uot;Montana Skies,&uot; reached No. 1 on world and instrumental music radio charts in April and May 2004 and helped them win the title &dquo;Best New Artist&dquo; in the 2005 Lifestyle Awards.

The couple met while studying music at the University of Georgia in Athens. At first the two planned on collaborating on classical music but after a trip to the university library to investigage repertoire, they discovered that music written for cello/guitar was as rare as the combination itself. They were not discouraged; they began writing their own arrangements to classic and composing music for themselves. Not having set repertoire has given these music artists a great freedom in their musical expression. In a typical concert, Montana Skies will perform everything from Bach to Pink Floyd.

The Adams live in Atlanta and have an extensive tour schedule which has taken them to Canada, Asia, Russia and across the United States. They perform live in concert at Green Creek Winery on Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. Call 863-2182 for more information.
