		I PLAY FIDDLE, STEEL GUITAR, AND SING BACK UP VOCALS FOR OUR BAND, STEVE AND THE SLEEPIN HOUNDS
	BOTH OF MY PARENTS PLAYED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS,SO MUSIC IS SECOND NATURE TO ME. AT A VERY EARLY AGE I STARTED PLAYING GUITAR. AS I GREW OLDER, I DEVELOPED INTEREST IN BOTH COUNTRY AN BLUEGRASS STYLE MUSIC. I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE FIDDLE BY WALLY BRYSON, RANDY HOWARD, AND JACK WEEKS. WITH THEIR HELP, I LEARNED TO PLAY FIDDLE AND IT BECAME MY INSTRUMENT OF CHOICE. WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE DEVELOPED AN INTEREST, AND LEARNED TO PLAY THE STEEL GUITAR. I HAVE PLAYED BLUEGRASS FESTIVALS AND CONTESTSAROUND THE COUNTRY. MY BROTHERS AND I DECIDED TO START A COUNTRY BAND APPROXIMATELY 20 YEARS AGO. THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, OUR BANDS HAVE OPENED FOR ENTERTAINERS LIKE TRACY LAWRENCE, PAM TILLIS, NOEL HAGGARD, AND MANY OTHERS. WE HAVE PLAYED NUMEROUS CANCER BENEFITS, PRIVATE PARTIES, AND MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF EVENTS.
