| 8/1/2025 | Rising country star Walker Montgomery returns to the Ottawa Memorial Auditorium — this time with his full band for an unforgettable night of country music! Chosen as an "Artist to Watch" by Country Now, Music Mayhem Magazine, Sounds Like Nashville, and The Boot, Walker is quickly making a name for himself in today’s country scene. The son of John Michael Montgomery and nephew of Montgomery Gentry’s Eddie Montgomery, Walker is carving out his own legacy with hits like “She Don’t Know,” “Simple Town,” and “Bad Day to Be a Beer.” His signature honey-bourbon voice and heartfelt songwriting have earned him over 40 million streams and a growing national fanbase. Walker made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2023 and first visited the OMA as an acoustic opener — now he’s back and headlining with a full-throttle show you won’t want to miss! Doors Open: 6:30 PM Event Fees: A convenience fee, a facility fee, and sales tax will be added to each ticket. All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges. more info... |
