Tommy Hays (band leader, guitarist, and vocalist) was born in Harthhorne, Oklahoma, in 1929 and started playing the guitar in church when he was 10 years old. He performed on the Billy Mize TV Show, Cousin Herb Show, was a member of the house band for the Lucky Spot, Blackboard and had his own radio show on KMPC.

Tommy has thoroughly enjoyed playing music for the past 60 years and sincerely hopes that you will enjoy these renditions of some of his favorite songs.
