Hired GunSonny Campbell and Joey Woolery, two long time friends that learned to play music together in Jr. High, would meet on the road to work every morning, years after graduation. They would talk about life and always discuss their dream of putting together a band that even their moms would be proud of. They thought that finding other band members with the same dreams would be the hardest part. When the thought became a reality, and the two began their search for the other members, a local friend with the same dreams fit the bill. Frank Phillips joined the group and added his flair and vocals to the group. The driving part of the group was then filled by a young man by the name of Darik Caswell. His playing ability and vocals rounded out the group. In 1995, the group entered into the local True Value talent contest. The group won the local and regional competitions and earned the opportunity to open for several name acts such as Brooks and Dunn. When the Texas-based band was then asked to compete in the Oklahoma State Finals, they won. With the titles of Texas and Oklahoma state winner, they went on to compete in Arizona for the last rounds of the competition. The band received an appearance on the Good Morning America show, and was picked up by the Coors Light Silver Bullet band tour, opening for several name acts. With help from friends like Lloyd Maines and countless others, the release of their first cd was a big success for the group. With air play on North Texas radio stations spanning from Abilene to Dallas, such as Young country 105, KLUR, and 94.9 The Outlaw, as well as several Oklahoma stations, the band gained great momentum and recognition in the country music market. As the pull between music and family became greater, the group decided as a whole to put off the music until their kids were older and stopped traveling. In 2006, the children older and music making yet another change, the band was once again making there way back into the music scene.
