South East Kentucky is known for musical talent. Our own hometown is partially known because of the bluegrass megastars The Osborne Brothers. Lately though, a new musical force has stormed onto the scene and they’re already transcending the boundaries of Leslie County. They are:     (from: L to R)  Doug Napier, Eddie Fee, John Sizemore, and Neal Parrett, better known as Hillbilly J.E.D.  

J.E.D. began as a simple jam band in 2015 that consisted of Eddie Fee and Doug Napier in Fee’s garage. Soon John Sizemore came into the mix and over the course of the next two years the garage began to become over populated with spectators and Hillbilly J.E.D. knew it was time to take the next step. With overwhelming demand for original music the band settled in and began writing original material that would, in the end, being two album’s worth of songs that paint a vivid picture of small town life, hard work, and LIVING our lives. The songs would eventually be recorded at Sneak Attack Recording Co. in Lexington, KY with producer/engineer Jason Groves at the helm.
