Primitive Quartet Biography

Primitive Quartet
(1973-present)
The Primitive Quartet was formed in 1973. Two pairs of brothers were in the original group: Reagan and Larry Riddle and Norman and Furman Wilson. The group formed after the four went on a camping trip together and ended up picking and singing around the fire at night. After singing together in church, they began to get requests to sing at other churches in western North Carolina. The group was originally known as the Reagan-Wilson Quartet.

Larry and Reagan’s brother Mike Riddle replaced Furman Wilson in the late 1970s. The group became full time in 1978. They also had changed the group name by this point to reflect their characteristic style. Two other members have been added to the group since the 1970s. Randy Fox joined in 1986 to sing and play various instruments. Jeff Tolbert joined in 1997 to play banjo, fiddle, and sing. The group is best known for the song “Fallen Leaves.”

The Primitive Quartet hosts a singing each summer during July. At this event, the top gospel bluegrass groups in the country come together for several days of singing in Hominy Valley near Candler, NC. They also have a singing in the fall.
