The Ozark Mountain Boys®

...for the finest in bluegrass

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting The Ozark Mountain Boys website. I enjoy picking banjo and songwriting, and playing with great individuals.

Most bands, whether bluegrass, country, rock, jazz or classical are a combination of friends, varying degrees of vocal and instrumental talent, and if they blend well, it works.

What makes The Ozark Mountain Boys very different from everyone else are three ingredients:

  • It is made up of the leaders of accomplished bands and nationally recognized studio musicians.
  • Great two part and four part vocals.
  • Nationally recognized intrumentalists from The Grand Ole Opry.

Very simply, they are the best of the best, who on a limited basis get together for premier shows at premier venues.

So whether you are here because you love great music, or are looking for the best for your next premier event, below you will find everything you need....profiles, video, audio, CD's, booking info and personal links.

Andrew Dye: Washington, Missouri. One of premier singers and songwriters in the high tenor old-time brother-style duet numbers. . Since 1995, he has largely been responsible for the resurgence and popularity of the old-style choreographed show in the Midwest. Andy toured as a Hay Holler Harvest recording artist for several years with the Gillis Brothers.

Jimmie Allison: Salem, Missouri. An award winning, stellar, acoustic guitar player and part of the duet singing of the old-time brother-style duet numbers with Andy Dye. Jimmie is known for his impeccable rhythm guitar and lead and harmony singing.

Chris Starkey: Weldon Springs, Missouri. Chris plays the 5-string banjo and guitar. In addition to writing songs, Chris began The Ozark Mountain Boys in 1979.
