we bagan singing together in 2001 and we have had a successful tour and performed in a lot of venues. michael swaggerty has been a choir director and pianist and vocalist with the group praise assembly, he began playing the piano in his teens and soon tried his hand at songwriting after being inspired by the late gospel music legend dottie rambo.
garry & terry hamby sang with their parents on their weekly television program, then both joined the group the millionaires, who's bus is now in dolly parton's dollywood on exhibit.
our 1st project won 2 king eagle international awards and now we are working on our next project, which we are excited about. it will have 9 new songs written by michael swaggerty & garry hamby. garry hamby is the executive producer.
we have a mixture when we perform live, we use our soundtracks and michael is pianist so we have live music too, of course the vocals are live.
dottie rambo was the inspiration for michael to write his first song. also there are so many people in music, christian country & southern gospel, that inspire us, in our case, our collective favs are varied from peg mckamey of the mckameys to ray boltz to george jones

we just love it when folks hear our music and let us know they enjoy it, or when we do a concert and you see people in the audience singing along, that is cool, especially when we get letters and e-mails telling us how they enjoyed our music and how they got something from it- that is why we sing
