Kati has taken on the job as MC for the group and does a fantastic job!!------------------------------------------------------- Tammy is the Mother of Tori, Kati, & Lexi. She started playing Bass in January, 2006. She loves getting to play music with her family. Watching her girls "Shine" on stage has been like living in a dream for her.---------------------------------------------John is the Dad of Tori, Kati, & Lexi. He has played guitar at home with the girls for years, but, until March, 2006, never played out with the girls. He started playing in the group in March, 2006 and has enjoyed being rhythm guitarist, sound man, "bus" driver, & road crew for the group. He loves getting to see his girls show the world what they are so great at.-------------------------------------------------------Le xi is the youngest "Huntley Sister" at 6 years old. She started her banjo lessons in October, 2007. She loves to clog and be around everyone at all of the festivals and churches that we go to. We look forward to having the last sister join the group.

He lives in Russellville, Al with his wife, Kim. Kevin started playing guitar in 1986 when he was 11 years old. He took up the banjo in 1994. Kevin says that he is so glad that he went into Weathers Brothers Music in 1986 or he might not play bluegrass music! The man that inspired Kevin most is Earl Scruggs! Don Reno is one of his favorites too. Kevin contributes his talent to his Grandma Harris who played the guitar, even tho he never got to hear her play.

You've been singing Flatt & Scruggs since you were in diapers. You can pick a guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro, mandolin, and a bass (and if you can't you should!) Your custom modified camper with the banjo shaped door handles adds a nice touch. Keep it going, Bill would be proud!
