Biography
Ever since their first performance in 2004, The Hunt Family Band has been
entertaining fans with their smooth, polished style. Whether you are a long time
Bluegrass fan or a newcomer to the genre you are sure to be pleased with an HFB
performance! The band consists of one family which includes Terry and Leanne and sons
Andrew and Jonathan.
Terry grew up in Harrison, Arkansas and began playing the banjo and taking an interest in
Bluegrass at an early age. He currently adds his tasteful rhythm and lead guitar and vocals
to the band. In addition to performing with HFB he is a member of the faculty in the
aerospace department at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Missouri.
Leanne was born on a farm in Garden City, Missouri where she grew up singing with her
family. She sings and plays the acoustic bass with HFB and has a tone and timing that are
hard to beat. She is also an accomplished pianist and flautist.
Andrew began playing the fiddle when he was seven years old and started learning the mandolin
soon thereafter. He enjoys playing both instruments and singing lead and harmony with HFB. He graduated with honors from the Recording Industry program at Middle Tennessee State University this year with a degree in Music Business and gives lessons on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar in addition to touring with HFB.
Jonathan does a fine job on banjo, guitar, and harmony vocals with HFB. In addition to being a great
musician, he is also an excellent studio/live sound engineer and luthier. His clear, smooth
banjo style is an integral part of HFBs sound. He is currently pursuing a double major in physics and economics at Middle Tennessee State University.
HFB is proud to announce the recent release of the Something Exciting Deluxe Edition which features five new tracks (for a total of 17!) on the album that was kindly described as “a very good and persuasive recording” by Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine.
Andrew and Jonathan’s 2014 release Game 7 has been receiving positive reviews from fans and is still available as well.
HFB’s main goals are pleasing fans and making new friends! Visit our Facebook page or website to connect with us!
