FRIDAY TUNES WITH MONTY

The weather has cooled down a little in our neck of the woods, the seasons are changing (which to be honest, isn’t that drastic here) and we are quietly rejoicing. It is starting to feel like the days where there is minimal guilt surrounding treating yourself to warm baked goods. We thought we would delight you with some nice music to keep you feeling good, even after too many of those little guilty pleasures.

This weeks tunes come to you from our darling Monty. Equipped with wisdom well beyond her years and style that we all wish we had, Monty is the girl on the street or in the surf that always feels like a breath of fresh air; with a radiant smile and a genuine interest in what you have to say.  With a girl-next-door like atmosphere and a repertoire of killer d-floor moves, Monty is the absolute perfect combination of sweet & spicy.

We welcome you to enjoy this fruitful list of tunes that will truely keep you feeling mighty fine & ready to shred. Even if it is a tiny bit fresh out.
