Twitty & Lynn: A Salute to Conway & Loretta

At the start of every Twitty & Lynn show, there’s a moment that lets country fans travel back in time. When Tre Twitty and Tayla Lynn lock eyes after the band plays the intro to "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man," it’s like seeing the magic of their legendary grandparents come to life. Tre, Conway Twitty’s grandson, and Tayla, Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter, share a look that echoes the powerful chemistry their grandparents had on stage.

For the next 90 minutes, audiences are swept into country music history. “Fans always say that when they see us together, they feel like there’s something genetic between us,” says Tre. “We’re telling our grandparents’ story through ours.”

But Twitty & Lynn aren’t impersonators—they’re celebrators. They don’t try to mimic their grandparents’ looks or moves. Instead, they honor the lost art of duet singing and country music’s legacy, all while keeping “Poppy” and “Memaw” alive in the hearts of their fans. "We’re the new version of what they started, but we also want to preserve the past," says Tre. "At our shows, country music is passed down through generations."

For Tayla, it’s all about family: “We have so much love and respect for Conway and Loretta, and we want to make them proud." Loretta herself was deeply moved by their tribute, often telling Tayla that Tre had “Conway’s heart.” Tayla, who was incredibly close to her grandmother, says, “It brought back so many memories for her, of when s

The Inspirations Southern Gospel Quartet

Group Biography

The Inspirations (1964-Present)

Martin Cook, a former piano player for the Kingsmen and a chemistry teacher at Swain High School in Bryson City, NC, formed the Inspirations in 1964 with several of his teenage students: Archie Watkins, Ronnie Hutchins, Jack Laws and Dean Robinson. The Inspirations became full-time in 1969, a year after hosting their first “Singing In The Smokies” event. Bass singer Mike Holcomb joined them in 1972.

The 1970s saw the Inspirations rise to national attention with a number of hit songs. Their sound was defined by the piercing tenor vocals of Archie Watkins and the booming bass of Mike Holcomb. The group was also invited to be part of the regular cast on the Gospel Singing Jubilee television program. They had the very first number one song on the Singing News chart in January of 1970 with “Jesus Is Coming Soon.” (This honor was shared with three other groups who had different versions of the same song.) Beginning in November 1973, the group had the top song for 12 months in a row. “Touring That City” held the position through February 1974 and “When I Wake Up To Sleep No More” was the most popular song for the next seven months. “Jesus Is Mine” was also a number one song for the group in 1976.

The Inspirations continued to present concerts with a traditional style and a conservative image in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Songs like “Cry For The Children” and “We Need To Thank God” resounded strongly with Christian conservatives and fans of traditional gospel music. For most of the 2000s, the members of the Inspirations were Archie Watkins, Matt Dibler, Melton Campbell, Mike Holcomb, Martin Cook and Myron Cook. The Inspirations returned to the top position on the Singing News chart in 2002 after a 26-year absence with “I’ll Not Turn My Back On Him Now.” "I Have Not Forgotten" (April 2007) and "If You Only Knew" (November 2007) were also number one songs for the Inspirations during the 2000s.

In 2009, original tenor Archie Watkins left the group after a 45-year run. Dallas Rogers, Jodi Hosterman, Mark Clark and Daron Osborne pulled stints in the tenor position with the Inspirations until Harold Reed joined in 2015. In the meantime, Watkins formed Smoky Mountain Reunion with former Inspirations members Marlin Shubert, Jack Laws, Troy Burns and Eddie Deitz.

Long-time bass singer Mike Holcomb left the Inspirations in 2013 after a 41-year tenure. Jon Epley moved from baritone to fill the bass spot, opening the way for the return of former baritone Melton Campbell. In 2015, Epley left to join the Ball Brothers and was replaced by former Diplomats bass singer Joe Brown.

In early 2017, original pianist, manager, emcee, and co-owner Martin Cook retired from the Inspirations. Cook's stint with the group spanned some 53 years. Bass singer Joe Brown departed at the same time as Cook. Original Inspirations tenor Archie Watkins became the new owner and manager of the group. The other members of Watkins' group, Smoky Mountain Reunion (all former Inspirations), were blended with the current group giving them seven singers in total. Utility musician Luke Vaught assumed piano duties.

After the departure of lead singer Matt Dibler in 2018, Roland Kesterson moved back to a primary singing role filling the lead position. Around the same time, former Chuck Wagon Gang bass singer Wyatt Austin was hired to play bass guitar and occasionally be featured on bass vocals.

In mid-2020 after several months not touring due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Inspirations announced the older group members (Archie Watkins, Eddie Dietz, and Marlin Shubert) would remain off the road until a vaccine was developed. The younger group members (Luke Vaught, Roland Kesterson, and Wyatt Austin) resumed traveling and were joined by tenor singer Isaac Moore. Vaught began pulling double duty playing piano and singing baritone while Austin became the group's full-time bass singer. Concert promoters consequently began introducing the revamped lineup as the Young Inspirations.

Rhonda Vincent

Rhonda Vincent is an extraordinary talent who leads one of the most dynamic bands in contemporary music across all genres. Hailing from the small town of Greentop, Missouri, Rhonda's rich musical heritage spans five generations of the Vincent family. Her musical journey began early, as her father would pick her up from school each day, and they would sing and play together until dinner. Afterward, friends would join them for more music until bedtime. Rhonda’s professional music career began with her family’s band, The Sally Mountain Show, where she received immediate hands-on experience, performing on TV and radio shows and recording their first project when Rhonda was just five years old.

At the age of eight, she picked up the mandolin, and by twelve, she had added the fiddle to her repertoire. A formative moment in her teenage years came while performing with her family at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. Playing in the pouring rain to what seemed like an empty venue, the Vincent family had no idea that Hal Durham, then General Manager of the Grand Ole Opry, was listening with his family just around the corner. Impressed by their performance, Durham invited the family to appear on the iconic Opry stage.

Rhonda’s journey in music continued to flourish as she honed her craft in bluegrass music. Discovered by Grand Ole Opry star Jim Ed Brown, Rhonda spent what she calls her "musical college years" recording for Giant Records and gaining invaluable insight into the music industry from some of Nashville’s most respected figures, including James Stroud, Jack McFadden, and Stan Barnett.

Her groundbreaking album, Back Home Again, solidified Rhonda Vincent’s status as a bluegrass icon, earning her the title of the “New Queen of Bluegrass” by The Wall Street Journal in 2000. Rhonda is a multi-award winner, having earned a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2017. She also received the prestigious Entertainer of the Year Award in 2001, Song of the Year in 2004, and a record-setting seven consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) between 2000 and 2006, with an eighth win in 2015.

In a crowning achievement of her career, Rhonda’s lifelong dream was realized when she was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry as a member on February 28, 2020. After an unprecedented 345-day wait, she was officially inducted on February 6, 2021. Rhonda's powerful vocal style transcends bluegrass, as evidenced by her collaboration with Dolly Parton on the Elton John / Bernie Taupin Tribute Project, Restoration, in 2018.

Rockland Road/Mattie Taylor

Rockland Road

Rockland Road is a street just outside Nashville. It’s a studio where countless hit records have been recorded. It’s a crossroads where country, gospel, pop, R&B and Americana music has coexisted and thrived for years. It is also a vocal-driven, melodic band with a signature sound as rich and authentic as its namesake.

Rockland Road is six musicians who share the last name Martin—representing four generations of musical heritage—all vocalists who among them play 23 different instruments. It is a powerhouse group featuring soulful vocals imbued with a pure, exuberant joy worthy of the talented blood that flows through this family’s veins.

As they prepared to enter the studio, Rockland Road was pitched songs from some of the top writers in Nashville. One song in particular, "Mountains Up Ahead," was brought to them by their producer Greg Bieck, and they felt an immediate connection and knew they had to record it.

"We had no idea just how relevant the message would become a few months after recording it, when the world seemed to change overnight," says Jamie. "It's all about having hope in tough times."

Rockland Road infused the uplifting song with their soaring six-part harmonies, breathing life into the tune penned by Nashville songwriting giant, Marcus Hummon. It was released as their third single in February 2022.

Fueled by a mutual passion for multiple genres and longing for a fun, family-friendly musical experience for their kids, Paul and Jamie Martin began singing together in 2010 with their four children: March, Kell, Texas and Tallant. Quickly realizing that the kids all showed an uncanny knack for hearing harmonies, as well as for playing instruments, they began performing shows together.

“Our house has always been like a live jukebox, with an all-you-can-play selection of musical instruments,” says Jamie. “Music completely engulfs our lives, so our kids have never known a day without it. And that’s just how they want it.”
