Uncommon Crossroads is an original Americana country rock band, creating original music since 2022.
Based in Tucson, Arizona, the band features the singing and songwriting of Maree Montagnini. Her sound is inspired by the Appalachian music of her home state, Ohio, as well as outlaw country and southern rock influences.
Michael Tarquin on percussion brings a dynamic, unique, creative interpretation of the music.
Maree and Michael have been performing together since the band's inception and are frequently joined by talented guest performers. They've performed throughout the southwest and are currently expanding their tour lineup to new cities and venues.
The band released its first album in the summer of 2023. Hills and Highways highlights the group's country, rock, and folk sound. Their popular country single, What If We, is growing in popularity among fans of new-old country music. Dark Side features the indie folk inspired solo performance of Maree. In 2024, they debuted three singles. "Jeremiah" is a alt country, western murder ballad. "Muddy River" is a tribute to the long-standing tradition of river songs, featuring the group's country rock influences. "Devil You Know" ventures into indie rock, outlaw country territory.
What to expect during a show? A one of a kind, high energy, dynamic performance of familiar music set to the group's creative interpretation.
Maree Montagnini, songwriter, lead vocals, guitar
Maree Montagnini is the songwriter and singer for the group. And it's her dream come to life. She hails from southeastern Ohio, essentially Appalachia... which explains the bluegrass and folk influences in her writing and singing. From there, she discovered the folk singers of the 1960s and will always have a special place in her heart for Peter Paul and Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, just to name a few. She's lived all over the country, from Michigan, to Florida, to New Mexico, Philadelphia, and now Arizona. Hugely influenced by Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, First Aid Kit, Green Day, Social Distortion, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, John Prine, the Black Keys and probably too many others to name. When she isn't working on new songs, she's probably hanging out with her five kids!
Michael Tarquin, percussion
Michael Tarquin joined the band in the Spring of 2022. He is a veteran, business owner, and future Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame Musician. You can find him around Tucson with friends and family or working security at night clubs. You’ll hear him drumming for the whole neighborhood to hear, you can spot him on the golf course or spending time with loved ones in Arizona’s beautiful desert outdoors or enjoying live music. Michael carries with him many strong music influences from pop punk, classic rock and modern hip hop music. His drumming is heavily influenced by Travis Barker, Neil Peart, Tommy Lee, and Matt Greiner. While he prides himself on speed and intricacy, maintaining groovy pocket beats is a valuable core to his drumming roots. In his 10 years of self-taught playing and growth, Michael played in multiple church groups and theaters across the country while being an active duty Marine.
