Thrasher Brothers - Biography

Thrasher Brothers (1948-1996)
The Thrasher Brothers (Jim, Buddy, and Joe) performed on the Wally Fowler Gospel Sing at the Grand Ole Opry when they were children in 1948. Five years later, they won Ted Mack’s National Talent Show and subsequently toured with Mack’s group for two years.

From 1967 to 1976, the Thrasher Brothers produced a television show called America Sings. The gospel classic “One Day At A Time” was one of their top tunes during this time period. A foray into mainstream pop and country music on the MCA label garnered them a hit song (“Still The One”) in the early 1980s.

In 1969, Jim and Joe Thrasher co-founded the Thrasher Brothers motorcoach company in Alabama. After the quartet retired in 1986, Jim became the sole owner while Joe went on to work in the state highway department. Jim has since served as President of the Alabama Motorcoach Association. Joe's son Neil sang with the Thrasher Brothers and later formed Thrasher Shiver, a country vocal duo act with Kelly Shiver that released a debut recording on the Asylum label in 1996.

In 1996, Ben Speer produced a Thrasher Brothers release on the Homeland label titled Encore. This final recording by the three brothers featured an all-star cast of bass singers including George Younce, J.D. Sumner, Brock Speer, and Rex Nelon. A 1971 recording of deceased Thrasher Brothers bass singer John Gresham was also incorporated into the project.
