Lauren Talley
Biography
Lauren Talley is the daughter of Roger Talley and Debra Talley, and the niece of Kirk Talley. She sang soprano with her parents in the Talley Trio starting as a young teenager until the group retired in 2020. More than ten songs by the Talleys have reached the number one position on the Singing News radio airplay chart since "Searchin'" in 2001.
Lauren was married to singer Brian Alvey. After Brian joined the Talley Trio, the group reverted to the shorter name they had used in the 1980s, The Talleys, due to the fact that they now had four vocalists. Alvey left the group in 2013. The couple would later divorce.
In addition to recording with her parents, Lauren recorded several solo CDs while still traveling with the Talleys. After the Talleys retired in 2020, she expanded her solo career to full-time. In the fall of 2020, she married singer/songwriter Sam Hoyle.
In 2024, Lauren recorded a trio album with singer/songwriter Kenna Turner West and Amber Eppinette Saunders of 11th Hour billed as Lauren, Amber, and Kenna.
