Gabi Montoya is the vocal powerhouse, guitarist and songwriter behind Tucson-based bands Taco Sauce (Tucson Weekly's Best Punk Band 2018) and Juju Fontaine (runner up for Tucson Weekly's Best Rock Band 2018). Gabi was born in Santa Fe and raised in southern New Mexico. She moved to Tucson in 2014 and fell in love with the city after spending five years in Orange County, CA teaching music while earning her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. Though classically trained in voice and piano, she immediately started getting back in touch with her rock n' roll roots once she got to Tucson, quickly writing music for the projects that would eventually become Taco Sauce and Juju Fontaine. Gabi is known for her big voice, stylistic versatility and catchy songwriting. She has played almost every well-known stage in Tucson, including Club Congress, 191 Toole, and The Rialto, as well as a handful of Phoenix and Bisbee venues as well. She has proved her mastery of various genres, having opened for a variety of musical acts such as Zoso, Together PANGEA, and Frank Turner. She recently released the highly-anticipated debut EP, Original Hot, with her Chicana surf-punk garage-pop band, Taco Sauce.
