PHIL McGARRAH, VOCALS/GUITAR, McGarrah
grew up in a one-room log cabin in the Spring Valley and Clifty area of
Northwest Arkansas. "Life was plain and simple, farming and logging. I
guess I started playing the guitar when I was about 5 years old. I
watched my brother, cousins, and uncles play at church. I saw where
they put their fingers on the strings and it was all history from
there." Wrote his first song at 8 years old, "Night Time In Old
Kentucky" which can still be heard when ROE plays live. "I have had a
great life growing up in rural Arkansas and I believe things will come
to those wait, but only what’s left behind from those who hustle. We
all need goals in our lives, but remember you don’t know where you are
going if you don’t know where you have been." Phil is currently
finishing his second album of original songs and working on a third
which will feature living legends Razzy Bailey, Sleepy LaBeef, Pretty
Miss Norma Jean, and Freddie Hart.

all around Mr. Music. Having worked in Music City several years and six
of those being with The Voice , (Vern Gosdin), and several other Stars
,it's no wonder how he knows every song in the book. Precision intro's
and lead rides along with precise harmonies and a Great personality,
Jackie is to Phil like Brooks is to Dunn or Don Rich to Buck Owens, the
right combination! In Phil's opinion he is" Nashville's Best"! Jackie

DEBORAH HOUSE, VIOLIN/VOCALS,
I was born & raised in Beebe Arkansas. Growing up with music all
around me, my grandpa is one of my biggest influences, growing up,
& still today, he is always picking around on his guitar or
mandolin. My big brother plays the banjo, & I took up the fiddle at
age 16, from the time I was 18 till I was like 21. I played at the Beebe
Sale barn every Sat. with a group of older men who made me fall in love
with traditional country music. I have played occasionally at the
Jacksonville Jamboree. Oh & also, my 3 sisters & I grew up
singing together at church. What I do on my spare time is
usually tune in to some Merle, Jones, or any of the other classical
country & play my fiddle along with it. Enjoys Eating Watermelon.
