In this episode of I'm With the Band, we sit down with Marie Montagnini, a Tucson-based singer-songwriter, rhythm guitarist, and the creative force behind Uncommon Crossroads. Raised in the heart of Appalachia, Marie’s music blends folk, outlaw country, and southern rock, weaving deeply personal storytelling with the raw energy of Americana.

With a background that spans from the hills of Ohio to the deserts of Arizona, Marie shares how her journey—both as an artist and a mother of five—has shaped her songwriting and led to the creation of her debut album, Hills and Highways. We dive into the stories behind her most compelling songs, her experience leading a band, and the unexpected moments that have defined her career.

From tales of life on the road to navigating the independent music scene, this conversation is an intimate look at an artist who stays true to her roots while forging her own path.
