About Me

Welcome to our MySpace! We live in the Houston TX area - warm weather, good people, and great music! We play music as a family, write a few songs, and perform whenever we can.
We play a blend of folk, bluegrass, country, and alternative - mostly acoustic, but not always. We do lots of originals, and also love to do songs by some of our favorite artists as well as some traditional stuff.
Terry and Ryan do the singing, Mike and Ryan play lead guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. We add bass and drums for some performances.
We finished our cd, "Now and Then" in 2006. We had a great time recording this project - many thanks to the fine people at Sugar Hill Studios in Houston. We hope to start working on a new project later this year.
Our debut CD, "Now and Then" is available at www.mytexasmusic.com and at CD Baby. Click a logo to purchase the album, or check out our MyTexasMusic band page for a review!!
