The True Brothers (Jacky and Roger) started in the music business back in October 1990. At the time they were known as True & True. (Click here) to see True & True picture Gallery. In June 1994 they changed the name of their act to The True Brothers to drive home the point that they are indeed real life brothers Jacky and Roger True.

In 1996 the True Brothers played the grand opening of the Louvin Brothers Museum in Historical Bell Buckle, Tennessee at the special invitation of Charlie Louvin, the surviving member of the World Famous Louvin Brothers. Charlie has been a Grand Ole Opry member since 1955 and is now a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame with his late brother Ira Louvin who was killed in 1965 in a head on car collision and scored many hits during the 1950's and 60's for Capitol Records. The tribute album to them, (Livin', Lovin', Losin' / Songs of the Louvin Brothers) won a Grammy in 2004 with such stars as Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart and Rhonda Vincent among others. Charlie and Ira went down in country music history with such songs as (I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby), (When I Stop Dreaming) and (My Baby's Gone) as well as hymns like (The Family Who Prays).

Jacky and Roger were backed up by the Opry Stage Band featuring the legendary Jimmy Capps, Dena Johnson and Billy Linneman.
