Jamie lives in Ripley, WV with his wife Rachel and their sons Austin, Jordan, Ryan and their daughter Lauren where they faithfully attend Goldtown Community Church. Jamie grew up on a farm in Staats Mill, West Virginia, where he was surrounded by gospel, country and bluegrass music. Jamie received his instrumental talents from his father Jack, who was always playing the pedal steel guitar and Dobro, and his mother Bessie who spent her days singing around the house. Singing in church was a big part of his childhood. His mother and father, along with his two sisters, were always singing in the country churches or just around the house. Jamie accepted the Lord as his personal Savior when he was 10 years old. For several years, Jamie traveled with Faithful Journey, a local southern gospel group based out of the Charleston, West Virginia area. He played the pedal steel guitar, Dobro, rhythm guitar and assisted with the backup vocals during that time. Jamie now sings southern/country/bluegrass gospel and travels with his family. Austin (age 23) plays the Piano/Keyboard, Bass Guitar, Ukelele and Harmonica. Jordan (age 18) plays the Banjo and Guitar while their younger brother - Ryan (age 15) plays the drums and guitar. Jamie`s wife - Rachel and their daughter Lauren (age 11) also sings some songs as well. Lauren is learning to play the Mandolin. They all look forward to traveling and doing what they have been taught and called to do for the Lord - through music.
It is my privilege to recommend Jamie Tolley to you for your consideration. Jamie is an active member of our congregation at Goldtown Community Church. Jamie attends our services on a regular basis.
