Description

The STUDEBAKERS have been harmonizing since 1993, when Jill Montgomery started the group. Her idea was to bring back the marvelous melodies and lyrics of the songs of the 20's, 30's and 40's and to deliver them with the clarity and close harmony that made them such big favorites in those years.
The band consists of five members: Jill Montgomery, Becky Cavanaugh and Sharon Maner are the core trio, singing tunes made famous by the Andrews Sisters, Boswell Sisters, and Chenille Sisters among others. Randy Seybold plays virtuoso bass and guitar and sings baritone while Marilyn Rucker joins in on keyboards and vocals.

Feedback

  • This was our second time to have them at our "Roundup". We had them in 2003 and then again this year. They are even better and have new additions. Our group had upwards of 200 people here and everyone enjoyed them. A lot of talent there! Thanks so much ! -- Elaine V, Rockdale, TX, 10/8/2011
  • We already knew that the style and sound of The Studebakers would be a crowd-pleaser for our wedding, but when they performed on the day, we were just beside ourselves. They had such a beautiful blend, costumes and gestures. We were also very pleased that the logistics of booking them was so easy. Marilyn was timely in responding to requests for small changes, and we felt immediately that we could trust them. On a day when a hundred things could potentially go wrong, they were so....right :) -- Lizzie W, Wimberley, TX, 10/7/2011
