As the saying goes, "The proof is in the pudding" and what more proof of the band's niche as a top bluegrass band than its seven consecutive IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) awards. The band won Vocal Group of the Year from 1994 through 2000. These awards stem from the band's acapella renditions of songs that cannot be matched and the band's superb musical talent. While most of their repertoire centers around the bluegrass and country songs of Bill and Charlie Monroe, the Delmore Brothers, The Carter Family, Hank Williams, and Jimmie Rodgers, the group has been equally effective with Gospel material. In fact, their 1996 album, "Living on the Other Side," was an all-Gospel recording.

IIIrd Tyme Out -- Where did such a name have its origin? This was the third time out for founding members Deaton and Moore and consequently the third professional bluegrass band association for each. No doubt, the third time proved to be the charm for these talented artists.
