Biographies

Robert Montgomery
Robert Montgomery
The Ademption front man is a skilled musician, vocalist, and songwriter with nearly 15 years of experience and knowledge of music theory under his belt. Robert is 25-years-old and a native of Pulaski County, Virginia, currently living in the town of Pulaski. Robert's father, Eddie, began teaching him to play the guitar at a young age. To help him further his knowledge, Eddie signed Robert up for guitar lessons and it wasn't long before Robert was teaching the instructor new tricks and skills. Needless to say, guitar lessons ended around that time. Not only does Robert play virtually all forms of the guitar, including acoustic, electric, and bass, but he has experience playing other instruments such as the piano, the fiddle, the violin, the mandolin, and even the harmonica. His performances are a true exhibition of talent and knowledge.
Josh Dowdy
Josh Dowdy
When you feel Ademption play, chances are you're experiencing Josh first-hand. This 36-year-old bassist lives in Christiansburg, VA. Josh joined Ademption in 2006, offering up a platter of vocals, song-writing, and those crisp, hard-hitting low frequencies you can't help but love. He appreciates all varieties of music, but seems to find his roots in classic rock, the best of the 80's, and modern metal and alternative metal. Nonetheless, you can sometimes find him hammering out a few riffs of blues, funk, and even hip-hop on stage.
Joe Kessinger
Joe Kessinger
Ademption's second guitarist goes by the name of Joe Kessinger, but is popularly known by fans of the band as "the sexy one." Go figure, right? Joe is a 26-year-old native of Pulaski, VA. When Joe joined Ademption in early 2007, he added a whole new level to the dynamics of their performances. He brings to the table his awesome vocals, songwriting repertoire, and guitar-playing style inspired by the likes of Eddie Van Halen, and it shows. He'll be sure to get you jumping at each and every show.
Crockett Henley
Crockett Henley
Crockett is 30-years-old and resides in Christiansburg, VA. He admires a multitude of musical genres such as jazz, classic rock, hard rock, bluegrass, folk, and classical. Having a strong drumming backgrond, he was a critical addition to Ademption and the band couldn't be luckier to have him. Crockett does contribute to the band vocally on occasion, but, to keep things PG-rated, you'll have to come to a show to find out how.
