Pipp Gillette lives and works on the family ranch near Lovelady, Texas, where his grandfather started raising cattle and cotton in 1912. Pipp and his late brother Guy received the Western Heritage Award for Outstanding Traditional Western Album of 2011, and the 2013 Western Heritage Award for Outstanding Original Western Composition for their performance of the Waddie Mitchell song "Trade Off.” Drawing on a life-long interest in Western history and music, Pipp plays traditional cowboy music on guitar, banjo, harmonica and bones.
Lloyd Wright is a fourth-generation Texan. He and his family were introduced to dulcimers and old time string band music in the summer of 1994. In 2000 he won the National Mountain Dulcimer Championship at the age of 18. Now settled down with his wife and three kids in the heart of the Davy Crockett National Forrest, Lloyd regularly performs Old Time and Country Gospel with his wife, mother and brother. Having first heard Guy and Pipp Gillette perform as a teen, he followed their music over the years. Lloyd combined forces with Pipp after the passing of Pipp's brother, Guy.
