GABBARD, HARLEY ROYCE (1935-2003)

Harley Gabbard had an unmistakable style on the Dobro and an equally recognizable deep voice. He worked and/or recorded with Johnny Cash, the Osborne Brothers, Aubrey Holt, Benny Birchfield, Jim McCall, the Burns Brothers, and as a solo. His greatest success came when he and his nephews, Aubrey and Jerry Holt, teamed with Paul “Moon” Mullins and Noah Crase to organize the Boys From Indiana and travel the festival circuit in the 1970s and 1980s.
