Wilson Fairchild, referred to as “the Reid boys,” have been writing, performing and playing music together their whole lives. They come by their “entertainment chops” honestly. Both highly acclaimed songwriters, they have been writing songs and playing guitar since their teenage years and have written with chart toppers like Bryan Kennedy (Garth Brooks), Gordon Kennedy (Peter Frampton), Jeff Hyde (Eric Church) and more. Along with recording their own music, Ricky Skaggs, Dailey & Vincent and the Statler Brothers have recorded their songs. Their songwriting gamut spans the country, bluegrass and gospel fields.
The roots of Wilson Fairchild’s musical journey can be traced back to the legendary television show “The Statler Brothers Show,” which dominated the airwaves for an impressive seven years on TNN. The duo made their debut on the show by performing their inaugural collaborative composition, “What We Love To Do”, a song subsequently recorded by The Statler Brothers themselves. Since then, they have joined forces with renowned songwriters, crafting hits behind the scenes.Notably, they crafted a heartfelt tribute to their fathers and their remarkable careers, aptly titled “The Statler Brothers Song,” which was presented during the induction of the Statler’s into the Gospel Music hall of Fame 2007, as well as their induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008.
