A couple of years ago, the band disintegrated. What happened? Well, it was multiple things. Sometimes our parents need a lot more care. Sometimes a member gets married and moves away from the area. Sometimes the opportunities to play dwindle away due to life's circumstances! Driving to and from a job that is many miles away can have an effect.
Anyway, here's some updates: Stuart and Tammy Anderson, along with Andi, Daron Stone and Jeff Harrison (or Aunt Francis) are still playing music as "Highway 19".
Sam, Reva, Kay and Jeff are performing frequently as "The Bolton Family Band". You can catch them at the Lake Bonham Hoedown on a fairly regular basis.
James and Anna can be found playing blues at the downtown Subway shop in Paris, along with their son-in-law, Todd and maybe some of Jame's students.
Boyd plays dobro with the Bolton Family Band every now and then, especially at the Lake Bonham Hoedown. Speaking of the Hoedown, Boyd plays there pretty frequently and will be playing there on January 25, 2014 with Wade White and crew. Boyd also plays with his band from the late 70's, Bois d'Arc Bottom, sometimes at the Windom Pavilion and sometimes at Big A's in Roxton.
Boyd can also be found teaching music at his studio in Paris, "Stringbender Music". Instruments taught are bass, dobro, rhythm guitar, banjo and pedal steel guitar.
