Cross Ties Band
About Cross Ties Band
The Cross Ties Band is an acoustic, stringed instrument band based in
northwest Georgia. Covering a broad spectrum of musical tastes, the
versatile four-man ensemble enjoys playing and singing bluegrass, gospel,
a cappella spirituals, Sacred Harp hymns, and traditional Irish music.
With "something for everybody," the group is seen regularly at churches,
festivals, and private social events throughout Georgia and the
southeast.
Although Cross Ties was only officially formed as a band in 2003, some
band members have been performing together since 1987 as The Universal
Pickers. Cross Ties and its predecessor group have completed four concert
tours of Germany since 1997, as well as appeared locally with well-known
artists such as The Inspirations, The Isaacs, and IIIrd Tyme Out. The
band has produced seven recording projects since 1990, with the most
recent release being "Life's Highway" in 2007.
The Cross Ties Band consists of Randy Ellis, Johnny Wright, Bret Mulcay,
and Randy Garrett (pictured above, left to right). The band's repertoire
reflects the diverse talents and backgrounds of the individual members,
and a Cross Ties show is full of instrument swapping and unexpected
combinations of harmony. Coupled with enjoyable comedy and audience
interaction, the end result is uplifting and entertaining.
