BABE HUMPHREY
As a general rule, the formation of any successful musical organization relies on leadership through authenticity. Babe Humphrey, Trailboss of the Bar J Wranglers, is the icon of the cowboy singer. Babe is a master of 4-part harmony exuding a rich baritone and bass voice, playing both lead and rhythm guitar. After over 50 years in the western music business with stints on the Grand Ol' Opry, TNN and hundreds of live performances all over the world, Babe is enjoying a much-deserved retirement.

 | SCOTT HUMPHREY
Babe's oldest son, Scott Humphrey, has been in the group since 1986, adding to the group one of the truest tenor voices ever heard. Scott's smooth voice and equally smooth rhythm guitar add a unique dimension to the group's overall sound.

 | BRYAN HUMPHREY
Babe's youngest son, has been in the group since 1989. Bryan's commanding lead voice has been hailed as the best in the business by many, and his dynamic yodeling is unparalleled. Bryan also plays the "doghouse" bass and has proven himself a prolific western song composer.

 | TIM HODGSON
Babe's "adopted" son, has also been with the group since 1989. Tim plays the fiddle and joined the group with many impressive credentials, including being 4-time Idaho State Champion Fiddler, 2-time U.S. Open Fiddler and 2-time National Men's Champion Fiddler. Tim rounds out the vocals singing tenor and high baritone.
