The Hutchison Bros.
John and Bob Hutchison, along with Tim Sparkman, had been performing as a folk-and-bluegrass-oriented group when, in the mid-seventies, they were joined by Greg Dearth and Tom Hampton to form the Hutchison Brothers Band, a musical combination devoted strictly to the Bluegrass idiom. They began to make appearances at colleges and in clubs and festivals throughout the Eastern United States at this time and were well-received in their efforts without exception.
During the same time period, two vinyl records of their music were released through Vetco Records in Cincinnati, Ohio. These were: The Hutchison Bros. (Vetco LP 505) and The Hutchison Bros. Band (Vetco LP 511). These records have been re-released as a compilation by Rick Mayor on compact disc and may be obtained for $15 through [email protected]. (For payment, checks will be made out to "JD Hutchison".)
