They met June 2005 during karaoke in Chattanooga Tn. Together they did a mission of taking care of struggling troubled inner city children at a get away "unplugged" camp ministry. 2006-2008   Blessed with a miracle daughter in 2008. They were FINALLY wed in Sept 2016. Shays mother was ordained to officiate, her stepfather of 38 yrs & her biological father were there. The bride & groom sang Faithfully by JOURNEY as their vows and...THAT was the first moment that the family ever heard them sing together.  Shay lost both her fathers that following year to cancer, their last wishes, because of that wedding song, was for them to go out & perform. They quickly set out to do a few small free shows to honor them. These performances led to many many bookings. Neither dreamed of music being their primary way of life. In 2019 they produced their 1st original music CD "MOTHER LEGACY Go Find Yourself" with CD sell outs weekly & available on all online platforms.
