BIO’S OF THE COLEMAN BROTHERS AND THE LONE STAR BOYS


The Coleman Brothers and the Lone Star Boys include Craig Coleman on mandolin, Corey Coleman
on fiddle, Patrick  Stowers on  guitar, Jay Hollifield on  bass, and Bryan Hollifield on  banjo.

Craig and Corey formed their first band at the ages of 15 and 12 respectively and started playing shows
around Texas.  As their popularity grew they were able to expand their travel to include shows all over
the south.  Craig and Corey shared the stage with groups such as;   The Dixie Chicks, Bill Monroe,
Ralph Stanley, Alison Krauss, and many others.  In 1991 the band was invited to play the Fan Fair in
Nashville for the Grand Ole Opry by Mr. Bill Monroe where they entertained a crowd of over 12,000.

Jay has been playing bluegrass for 30 years.  His styles are rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
Southern Virginia and North Carolina.   Jay first learned mandolin, then the guitar, and now plays  bass
for the band.

Bryan, a native Texan, began playing mandolin at age 8 and soon developed a love for the banjo.  
Bryan plays a hard-driving banjo which was heavily influenced by the sounds of Ralph Stanley, J.D.
Crowe and Earl Scruggs.  

Throughout the years the Coleman Brothers have kept their vow to play traditional, hard-driving
Bluegrass music. Brother Harmonies and traditional instrumentation make The Coleman Brothers and
the Lone Star Boys a valuable asset to any musical event. Craig and Corey and all of the Lone Star
Boys look forward to working with you.
