Album Notes

Tommy Webb was born, raised and still lives in Langley, Kentucky. Langley is located in Floyd County, near the well known highway Route 23 where so many award winning country and bluegrass artists have originated.

Tommy started singing and playing guitar when he was 15 years old in jam sessions with friends in the neighborhood. After high school he started playing with a group called The Pine Top Ramblers, after that in a group called South Creek, and then for several years with another group called Onlyne. He also performed with Clyde Bowling and the Southern Bluegrass Boys before starting The Tommy Webb Band in 2005.

Tommy sings lead, tenor, and mostly plays guitar, but for an eager crowd he will always pull out the old time clawhammer banjo to give the audience their money’s worth. He also writes a lot of songs, and has written several on his two releases, Eastern Kentucky and Now That You Are Gone.

Tommy’s current band includes Chris Goble who plays banjo and sings high tenor/baritone. Chris makes his home in Inez, Ky and has been playing banjo with Tommy since 1998. He previously played with Sammy Adkins and the Sandy Hook Mountain Boys. Kenny O'Quinn is from Elkhorn City, Ky and plays a very distinctive style on the mandolin, influenced by his early days in a rock band. O'Quinn has previously played with the Russell Fork Ramblers and Whitewater Grass. Tadd Huff is the bass man and is from Carr Fork, Ky. Tadd has played in numerous bands for years. He can play a number of instruments, basically anything with strings. Tadd is also a library of information on the history of bluegrass and a preacher as well.

Tommy Webb, a unique but traditional voice out of eastern Kentucky region, provides a blend of traditional, gospel, contemporary and classic bluegrass music filled with pure vocals and intense instrumentation.
