Meet the Band: Family Reunion

Cousin JD: (Vocals, Guitars, Tall Tales)

JD likes to tell everyone his initials stand for Jack Daniels or James Dean. I guess that’s where he started with his story telling. Luckily he tells better stories in his songs.

Cousin Carrie: (Vocals and Photo Ops.)

She thought we started calling her “Carrie” because she sounded like Carrie Underwood. But the truth is we called her “Kari” because she used to sound like a bad Karaoke singer. She’s much better now

Cousin Barbie: (Guitars, Background Vocals, Crowd Control)

Barbie is actually short for Trailerpark Barbie (we mean that in the nice way.) Even though she looks like a doll, you won’t find her in a pink dress or playing house. But she sure does know her way around a fret board.

Cousin Hollywood: (Bass, Background Vocals, Movie Magic)

None of us knows exactly where Hollywood lives. Whenever we ask, he just says “somewhere West of Texas.” But Hollywood is more a state of mind than a place anyway.

Cousin Slim: (Drums, Background Hollerin’, Party Favors)

To say that Slim is the life of the party is an understatement. Slim IS the party. He likes to party louder, faster and longer than anyone else, and that’s exactly how he plays drums too.

Cousin Tex: (Fiddle, Keyboards, Any Instrument Ever Made)

We’ve got lots of cousins from Texas, but oddly enough Tex isn’t one of them. But Tex knows a little about music, there’s not an instrument made that he can’t figure out how to play.
