Sawyer Brown

Sawyer Brown is an American country music band. It was founded in 1981 in Apopka, Florida, by Mark Miller (lead vocals, guitar), Gregg “Hobie” Hubbard (keyboards), Bobby Randall (guitars), Joe “Curly” Smyth (drums), and Jim Scholten (bass guitar). The five musicians were originally members of country singer Don King’s road band, but chose to stay together after King retired in 1981. After competing on the television competition series Star Search and winning that show’s grand prize, they signed to Capitol Records in 1984. The band recorded for Capitol between then and 1991, and for Curb Records between then and 2005, except for a short time in 2003 when they were signed to Lyric Street Records.
