Garry Cuthbertson, Lead Vocals & Guitar
A true product of the western North Carolina foothills, Garry has been singing and playing guitar since childhood. Raised in Rutherford County, he came of age during the early days of the legendary Green Acres Music Hall—a once-humble cinder block venue that grew into a regional landmark, known for hosting artists like Béla Fleck, Sam Bush, and Jerry Douglas. Immersed in that rich musical atmosphere, Garry developed a deep appreciation for classic country, bluegrass, and Americana.
Garry’s voice carries the warmth, grit, and soul of the country greats who inspired him, while his guitar work brings rhythm, emotion, and texture to every performance. His playing style is both precise and expressive—marked by technique that is uniquely his own. As the founder and frontman of Gilkey Cattle Co., Garry leads with authenticity and a passion for songs that tell a story. Whether performing for a packed crowd or an intimate gathering, he delivers music that feels timeless, heartfelt, and firmly rooted in tradition.
