This is an urgent appeal for help for Kristian Montgomery, a musician from the Green Mountains of Vermont who has lost everything in a house fire on February 9, 2025. Rock at Night has covered his album releases for the past five years.
The night of the fire, Kristian and his family narrowly escaped out of the house but they lost a faithful dog, chickens and several cats, all household items and personal belongings and all of his musical equipment and instruments.
Read a local Wallingford, Vermont news story about this devastating loss HERE.
Friends have put together a huge effort for Kristian and his family that includes a “Go Fund Me” link that you can access right HERE. If you can’t give funds (no amount is too small or insignificant as the need is great), clothing for himself, wife and children, household items, non perishable food, toiletries, musical instruments, studio equipment is acceptable. He also needs to find a place to live.
Are you an artist yourself and can you help by putting together a benefit show for this family in need? Please contact the organizers of the Go Fund Me if that is something you can do or an effort that you can help with. You can reach the organizers at the following Facebook page HERE. They are in the Boston area.
Be sure to buy Kristian’s music, that will be a huge help to him and his family. His Bandcamp account and website are linked below. Or book the band for upcoming gigs and the festival season.

From Kristian, “…there is hope, tomorrow is never promised. You have to take it!”
