ALPENA -- Alpena Events Complex (APlex) in Alpena will host Eddie Montgomery, of Montgomery Gentry, on Feb. 26.
Tickets for Montgomery's concert go on sale Oct. 16.
Montgomery is known as being part of Montgomery Gentry, a country group that rose to popularity in the 90s and early 2000s.
After the death of Troy Gentry, Montgomery has continued to tour and carry on the Montgomery Gentry legacy, according to an APlex press release. Gentry died in a plane crash in 2017.
"I'm keeping it going, I'm keeping my promise," Montgomery said in the release. "A day don't go by I don't talk about him. A day don't go by I don't miss him."
Montgomery Gentry has five number one country radio hits, a Grand Ole Opry membership, and a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction.
"I'm livin' life," Montgomery said in the release. "I'm so happy that I got to sit on my hands to keep them from waving at everybody."
Notable songs by Montgomery Gentry include "Hillbilly Shoes" and "Cost Of Being Me."
