Mark Trammell Quartet (2002 - Present)

Also known as the Mark Trammell Trio

History

Mark Trammell founded the Mark Trammell Trio in 2002. The group’s original lineup featured tenor Eric Phillips and former Booth Brothers baritone singer Joseph Smith.

In the fall of 2005, Joseph Smith left the group, citing a non-life-threatening health condition. After a search of several months, Mark Trammell hired Dustin Sweatman (who at the time was the baritone singer for Ed O'Neal's Dixie Melody Boys) as Smith’s replacement. Vocal coach Steve Hurst, who had filled in for Smith on vocals and keyboards, joined the group as group pianist for a while.

In 2010, Pat Barker joined the group to sing bass, which led to a change in the group name. Before this transition, Joel Wood had replaced Eric Phillips at the tenor slot. Eric rejoined the group in early 2012, then left the group again in 2013 to resume a career in law enforcement. He was replaced by Dustin Black.

In 2014, bass singer Pat Barker left and Randy Byrd filled in, eventually being named the permanent bass singer for the group. The following year, Dustin Black was replaced by Blake Buffin. Trevor Conkle was hired as the group's first full-time pianist since Steve Hurst in 2017 following his tenure with The Hoppers. Stephen Adair replaced Buffin at the tenor position in 2019. Eight-year veteran bass singer Randy Byrd left the group in 2022 due to health issues that prevented him from traveling, and was replaced by Will Lane following the announced retirement of the LeFevre Quartet later that year.
