"Gallery" Band Members: HORNS

"Gallery's" horn section has been together since the band's beginning in 1965. The horn section is often featured through the skillful arrangements by Sam Harbinson, Bill Harbinson and Tim Hedrick. The horn section gives the band the versatility and variety that makes it possible to cover its wide scope of musical styles.
