Ray LaMontagne performs at Red Rocks on May 10th. LaMontagne has a unique vocal style which he says is created by singing through his gut instead of through his nose. He cites Stephen Stills, Richard Manuel, and Rick Danko as strong musical influences, while critics have compared LaMontagne’s music to that of The Band, Van Morrison, Nick Drake, and Tim Buckley.[39][failed verification][40] A Rolling Stone review of his album Supernova referred to his voice as an “impeccably weathered tenor croon” and his phrasing as “marble-mouthed.”
