Ray LaMontagne Tickets

Celebrated Grammy award winner Ray LaMontagne commemorates the 20th anniversary of the release of his seminal debut album Trouble with a special remastered vinyl edition. 

LaMontagne reflected on the momentous anniversary in a post on his socials, sharing, “Twenty years. Two Decades. That’s a lot of water under the bridge. Every cell in my body has changed three times over in that time. I have been three times reborn. There are moments in your life when you need to place a marker. Some people think that it is brave, or fearless, to never look back. I don’t believe that. For the simple reason that if you never look back you will never see how far you have come. This year I placed a sign post: twenty years of Trouble.”

Upon the album’s initial release in 2004, Trouble saw rave reviews from BBC, who proclaimed it “A classic - listen incessantly,” echoed by NPR who praised it as, “timeless, cathartic and uplifting…LaMontagne has a hit debut record.” Drowned in Sound named LaMontagne “an artist who you have never heard of but has the potential to change your life in a moment,” while MOJO raved, “LaMontagne is blessed with a wood-smoky Paul Rodgers-meets-Norah Jones delivery, oozing the rough-hewn sensitivity of mid-'70s Marlboro ads and Kris Kristofferson movies... He's something special indeed.” Trouble charted on the Billboard 200 and was certified RIAA Platinum. 

LaMontagne has spent the past two decades carving a singular space for himself in modern music. In a career that has seen overflowing critical acclaim, he’s opted out of the spotlight and its accompanying celebrity in the remote hills of Western Massachusetts. The New York Times accounts, “Visiting Ray LaMontagne is like going back to another century.” His distinctive voice, described by Rolling Stone as an “impeccably weathered tenor croon,” continues to serve as a conduit for era-defining melodies and songwriting. Across nine studio albums, LaMontagne has let his songs and story speak for themselves, ringing a deep chord in the American subconscious. 

In addition to ‘Trouble’s RIAA Platinum certification, 2006’s Till the Sun Turns Black and 2008’s Gossip in the Grain saw RIAA Gold certifications. LaMontagne received two Grammy nominations and won the award for Best Contemporary Folk Album for God Willin’ and ‘the Creek Don’t Rise. In 2010 he began recording as Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs. For his debut album, LaMontagne won four awards, including three Boston Music Awards (Best Male Singer/Songwriter, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year) and an XM Nation Music Award for Acoustic Rock Artist of the Year.

LaMontagne has received a nomination from the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards for Best New Touring Artist, the BRIT Awards for International Breakthrough Act, the MOJO Awards for Best New Act, and was given the title of Best Voice in 2006 by Esquire. His most recent album, ‘Long Way Home’, landed in 2024 – the lead single from the project, ‘Step Into Your Power’ hit No.1 at Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay, Mediabase Triple A, and Americana Singles charts, marking LaMontagne’s third No.1 of his career.
