Born and raised in Charleston, Illinois. Stacy's father and mother were both musicians and toured in the 40's and 50's for USO tours. His father was a guitarist and a lap steel guitar player. His mother sang, so he was always around music at a very early age. His mother told him that he was not one to go outside and play; but rather listen to his father give guitar lessons, or watch rehearsals that his father and bandmates used to have in his kitchen. When he was 11, his father went to Samuels in Mattoon and bought him his first guitar...a Hagstrom. Since then, he began playing Mandolin and Native American Flute. He started his first band when he was 15 and hasnt stopped since. His past affilations has been with a very short stint with a very famous National band in 1970, and much longer with the bands WhiskeyJack, Sawyer Brothers, and many others over the years. He also toured all over the U.S.A with the Nancy Hays Show as well as having one song recorded and made a hit by Glen Campbell in the mid 80's. He also was offered a recording contract with RCA and AMI during the mid-1980's and had airplay in European nations with a song that he had written.  He had the priviledge to open for many artists such as Ronnie Millsap, Conway Twitty, Dan Seals, Bellamy Brothers, Roy Clark, just to name a few.

Randal was born a poor black child in Paris, Illinois. At least, that is what he says. Actually, Randal (or as we call him by his stage name..Ivory Joe), has a vast and impressive resume himself. He has played with some of the very best bands in the area and has played with famous artists who are NOT from this area. He is a musical workhorse, and workaholic. His savvy and sense of musical direction is upper crust and 100% reliable.  One of the founding members of PHB,  he is considered the consumate professional and a consumate nice guy.

The Doctor has been playing bass guitar for over 20 years. But before that, he grew up in a musical household and learned to play guitar, piano, organ, trombone, tuba, and trumpet--all by age 15. He has been in many Illinois bands, several of which have played venues in Nashville and backed up well known acts such as Ray Stevens, Head East, and The Phelps Brothers.  He played in a band with Stacy in the 80's called WhiskeyJack.

Jerry; a resident of Atlanta, Illinois; is a lifelong musician with a truly impressive background. Those
who know Jerry; knows that he was with Timothy P. & R.R.3 for many years and even moved to
Denver, Colorado when Tim moved there. Jerry has since moved back and joined PHB when our original guitarist, Rick Perez, suffered medical problems and had to leave the band. Jerry is one of THE very best guitarists/pedal steel guitarist in the entire state, and has been in a vast array of top notch bands. He has toured all over the USA and continues to wow audiences with his musicianship.
