Eddie Montgomery, one half of country duo Montgomery Gentry, is combining two of his favorite things: good food and good music.
 
Montgomery plans on building a new restaurant and entertainment complex in Mercer County, Kentucky, just south of Harrodsburg, near the U.S. 127 bypass. The center of the complex, Eddie Montgomery’s Steakhouse, will be surrounded by shops in the area called Skylar’s Landing.
 
The biggest draw of the steakhouse, Eddie hopes, will be the stage set for live music, featuring some of country’s newest and biggest acts.
 
“Live music’s kind of gone away, and I’m wanting to help bring it back,” Eddie said. “This has always been a dream of mine.”
 
Brenda Sexton, the Mercer Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, is also excited about the plans. She said it would serve as a big draw to an already growing area.
 
Eddie Montgomery plans on hosting the opening music performances with his partner Troy Gentry, as well as several other country music personalities. The restaurant could open as early as this fall.
