Hey everyone let me tell you a little bit about myself. I started singing, like most people, at a young age in church. Then I started joining the choirs in school. It didn't take me long to realize that I wanted to sing for a living. When I joined show choir in high school, I started to learn how to entertain a crowd of people. It became very clear I should be on a stage for a the rest of my life. Jake and I have been singing and entertaining since high school together. I decided to start the band because I didn't want to stop entertaining people. Our first show would be the high school talent show. We picked up some crazy looking guitar player that night (Chris).
I graduated in 2001 from Whiteland Community High School. The guys and I continued to play local talent shows and bars. It seemed every show we did, more and more people were attracted to us. They were drawn to our tear jerkin originals and our high-energy style of playing. I also after high school continued training horses. The farm life was something I also enjoyed.
I am the luckiest man alive. I have a wonderful family and I am living my dream of playing music with my best friends. Family and River County is my life. I live in Camby, Indiana with my wife Angie and our 3 kids. Well thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me. Hopefully I will meet you during our travels. Come and see River County. It will be a show you will never forget. Take Care! Derek Wylie
