Musician/Band

Stuart resident Jason Montero has long been a regular on the local music scene, playing at all the hot venues both solo and with his various bands—Bad Habits, Sour Mash, and the Jason Montero Trio. His latest album, Inside Out, was released last year. We sat down for a quick chat with the Best Of 2025 winner.

Most requested song over the years: “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison.

Strangest song request? I received a napkin once asking me to play “Amie” [by Pure Prairie League] for someone’s daughter who had been kidnapped and
returned. That was pretty wild.

Favorite decade for music: My heart is in the 1970s, singer/songwriters like Cat Stevens and Neil Young.

Guitar hero: I’ve never had that many guitar heroes, but at the end of the day, it’s Lindsey Buckingham. I saw him play an acoustic solo performance in Fort Pierce, and it was magic. He’s like from another planet.

Favorite song to play: Usually, it’s the one I’m learning or have just learned. There are some songs I’ve known for 30 years, and when I finally crack the code on playing them, it’s so exciting. —Valerie Staggs
