In a four-year span between 2003 and 2006, the Yellowhammer State boasted of two winners and a runner-up on a televised vocal talent show that set ratings records.

"I played the trumpet and the tuba in the band, and at Huffman High School I sang in the choir and played football. I became a voice major in college."

"I picked up my first guitar was I was 9 years old," said the runner-up on season four (2005) of "American Idol."
