Gary Vest-Lead Vocalist

Gary's interest in music started at a very early age. He grew up with both his older brothers, Billy and Kenneth, playing in various country bands and going to their shows at small honky-tonks, restaurants & dive bars. His love of country music started with them as role models. He played bass in a rock band in high school and says he didn’t know what he was doing, but the girls sure liked it!
His music career had to be put on hold in his 30’s due to being a single parent but never lost interest and desire to perform and quenched his thirst for the stage at various Opry’s around DFW.

Landon Frazier - Lead Guitar
Ozark MO
Landon got his first guitar when he was 15 - a simple fender acoustic that came with a pic and a beginners music book filled with simplified versions of all the best country hits from the 60s to early 90s. He says he stumbled his way through those pages trying to make his fingers work well enough to at least pluck out a somewhat recognizable tune. It wasn’t until he got an electric guitar when he really found an interest in playing country music. Since then he's bounced around playing different genres of music but always came back to the songs that started it all. You just can’t beat classic country!..
