The true "glue" to the band, Tommy Brown is the founder and leader of the County Line Grass. He drives the show with his Stanley-style banjo playing and soulful lead vocals, while entertaining the crowd as an emcee. Tommy's energy on stage is a unique plus to the show!
Tommy's wife, Laura Brown, sings tenor vocals for the County Line Grass. She is also a unique element to the show with her clogging abilities!
Tommy and Laura's son, Jereme Brown, continues on in his families footsteps. Starting out playing the banjo for the group, he has now switched to the guitar and sings harmony vocals.
The youngest of the group, Tommy and Laura's daughter, Rachel Brown, is the solid foundation for the show playing the upright acoustic bass.
Wayne Fyffe is the newest edition to the band, playing the old-time fiddle. He blends well with the family-oriented group and also sings baritone.
Josh "Jug" Rinkel was once the "roadie" for the band but has emerged into his bluegrass abilities playing banjo and singing lead vocals. Occasionally he breaks out in a jig or two with Laura to entertain the crowd!

Hello, My name is Cindy Fountain. My husband and I came to your show at Clay City, KY this past Saturday night. It was our very first time there....but it won't be the last. I was kind of on the fence about coming (cause I wasn't a big fan of Bluegrass). But I really enjoyed listening to your group. Thank You for such good entertainment!
