Family singing in my studio

cousins L-R: David, Andrea, Kim, Sandra, Darrell, Sandra's son Zach, and Brian in back. I come from a family of singers and musicians. It's what we do. I think almost every family gathering has broken out into song. Andrea passed away this year, so young. She was the youngest of ten kids. Her passing hit me in the chest like a ton of bricks and I was inspired to write a song about her (coming out soon).

Tackett Creek Music

This name goes back to the late 1700's in my family. It's the place my ancestors settled and live until this day...Tackett Creek, Tennessee
