Lori Lyn - Upright Bass, Lead & Harmony Vocals

 

Without a doubt-Lori Lyn was literally raised on bluegrass music!!  At a very young age her parents took her to a bluegrass festival in Ottawa, OH.  She grew up listening to Flatt and Scruggs, Jimmy Martin, and the Osborne Brothers.  Lori was born and raised the small tows of Wapakoneta, Oh  with her family roots in East Tennesee.  She has been singing since the age of 6 yrs old and has a powerful lead vocal and an incredible amount of evergy.  For the last 6 years Lori played upright bass, and sang lead & harmony vocals with the Greg "Spanky" Moore Bluegrass Band and various other artists on the circuit.

Now-with a New Outlook-Lori has put together a talented group of musicians.  Each member brings to the band years of experience in both traditional and newer bluegrass and gospel music.  She attributes much of her singin style to Dolly Parton, Rhonda Vincent and Dale Ann Bradley.  However, her own individuality and soulful singing shines through as you will see when you listen to her.

Cecil Jackson - Guitar , Lead Vocal, and Harmony Vocal
Cecil Jackson Jr, is from the wonderful state of  Kentucky.  Cecil grew up listening to country and gospel music - but the day he heard bluegrass music it did something to him!!  He could not get enough of it.  Cecil had his 1st bluegrass band at age 16 and has been going strong every since.  He is very reliable and just loves to pick and sing!!  Cecil has had the opportunity to play on stage with such greats Del McCoury and J.D. Crowe.   He  gets great enjoyment from jam sessions pickin' with a wide variety of musicians.  Don't be surprised if after a show you'll find him out in a campsite  pickin' away!!
