From finishing third in the Kentucky State finals of the Coca Cola Talent Contest, advancing to the state finals of the Colgate Country Showdown, performing at the World Equestrian Games, opening for John Michael Montgomery at the Ballard County Fair and numerous area shows and radio appearances, they have accomplished much in a short period of time. Straight Laced’s musicians are Quinton Pence (guitar and harmony vocals), Jenny Beth Willis (lead vocals and guitar), and Emily Wills (fiddle, keyboard and harmony vocals). Straight Laced is an acoustic country band that also incorporates hints of gospel and bluegrass music into their shows.
