Wild Bergamot

Daisy Montgomery was born in Nashville, Tennessee on August 3, 1991, and Holly Jackson was born in Biloxi, Mississippi on November 12, 1991. Together they are Wild Bergamot, a female country duo.

The duo was formed in 2009 when the two met and became close friends in college. The two began writing and performing together around Nashville, TN, until they were eventually signed to Ozark Sunset Records in late 2010. With the help of their new record deal, Wild Bergamot was able to release its debut single, "I've Got Hell In the Rearview (And Heaven On the Horizon)," to country radio in February 2011. It served as the lead-off single to their self-titled debut record, which debuted at #16 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 31,000.
