John Michael Montgomery is the brother of Montgomery Gentry’s Eddie Montgomery and hit the country music scene in 1992. Throughout his career, he raked in seven No.1 hit including “I Love The Way You Love Me,” “Be My Baby Tonight,” and “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident).”

His son, Walker Montgomery, is a rising country artist breaking onto the scene with releases like “Out Of Nowhere” and “Bad Day To Be A Beer.”

The father and son recently joined forces on stage for a duet at the Kentucky State Fair on Wednesday, August 24. The pair blended their voices on a duet of “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident).”

“Tonight’s gonna be special because I’m gonna bring my son out here and he’s gonna help me sing it,” John Michael said before Walker entered the stage.

The father/son pairing then went on to perform the fan-favorite hit.

“Well, I went down to the Grundy County Auction / Where I saw something I just had to have / My mind told me I should proceed with caution / But my heart said, ‘Go ahead and make a bid on that,’” John Michael Montgomery sang on the first verse.

“And I said / ‘Hey pretty lady, won’t you give me a sign? / I’d give anything to make you mine o’ mine / I’ll do your biddin’ and be at your beck and call’ / Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone lookin’ so fine / Man, I gotta have her she’s a one of a kind / I’m goin’ once, goin’ twice, I’m sold,” Walker Montgomery took over the song’s chorus.

John Michael Montgomery’s next scheduled tour date is September 24 at Blue Gate Performing Arts Center in Shipshewana, Indiana, however, it’s unclear if the show will continue as planned.
