Houston

Houston is our eight year old younger brother. Even though Houston is not an active "band member" yet, he will be joining us on stage soon! During our band practices, he enjoys strumming the guitar & mandolin, chopping on the fiddle, and singing along to his favorite songs. He also is a huge help during set-up at concerts.
When Houston is not holding an instrument or involved with our music, he spends his time reading books, playing with trucks and tractors, gardening, and being included in the "big guy" stuff with Canyon and our Dad, Chris. In addition to those interests, Houston thoroughly enjoys lending a helping hand in the kitchen. He always keeps himself busy!

Chris & Debby
Chris & Debby Moore are our amazing parents. The often get asked "what instruments do you both play?" Surprisingly, Dad (Chris) doesn't play any and Mom (Debby) only plays a little bit of guitar and fiddle. Even so, they are both extremely supportive of our music and other endeavors. We are so thankful to have them both in our lives.
