a large part of the scheduling also. Gary’s love of bluegrass and his devotion to Wolf Creek Grass inspires the other

player. Mike has played in several other bands before joining W.C.G. including "The Above Average Garage Band" from Harlan,

Robert Cornett
Robert Cornett is also a founding member of Wolf Creek Grass. He is the lead
vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the band. He has one of the smoothest and most distinctive voices in bluegrass music today.
Rob’s bluegrass roots run deep. He often recalls learning songs at the feet of his father who played banjo. Robert remains
committed to the preservation of traditional bluegrass music. Rob is an active member of his community and church. He is known
by his friends and neighbors as a generous and caring man who goes out of his way to help others and who has a smile for all
he meets. Rob has three children and two grandchildren. He and his wife Diane live in Wooton, Kentucky with their son, Robbie.
Terri Kelly
Terri is the newest member of the band. Although she has been helping Gary manage the band for the past three years,
she made her debut on stage on June 27, 2007 in Cumberland, Kentucky. It was her first time being on stage and she had only
been playing the bass for 10 days when she got on stage. The crowd loved her and she did a great job. Terri is also
the wife of Mike Kelly, who plays the banjo for the band. We are so happy she is now filling the bass player position for
us, as well as singing harmony and lead vocals. Terri is also a school teacher, and guidance counselor, at Rosspoint Elementary
