Moore Brothers Growing up in Altadena, California, Greg and Thom Moore shared a room for 15 years, in which they amassed a tiny collection of LP's stolen from their parents. Over time, the Cowsills, Bee Gees, and the Beatles gave way to Thomas Dolby, the Cocteau Twins, and the Incredible String Band. On May 5, 2003, the Moore Brothers released their second album, On and Out, which was released on Amazing Grease Records. It features the same production and rhythm section team as their debut album, Colossal Small. Producer Jon Erickson supplies the bass while Andrew Borger (Norah Jones, Preston School of Industry, Tom Waits) plays drums. Like its predecessor, it features a wide array of styles and moods that showcase the Brother's close harmony singing and their individual talents as well. The themes explored on the album include problematic relationships, marriage, and nuclear explosions.

Jimmy Fortune Often called “the greatest tenor voice in Country Music”, Jimmy Fortune sang for the Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them as a temporary singer after Lew DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended Jimmy as his replacement. Following an audition in Nashville, Jimmy was contacted by the Statler Brothers and performed with them in his first show on January 28, 1982 in Savanna, Georgia. Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statlers and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982.
