Jeff Huskins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeffrey Howard Huskins (April 26, 1966 in Tarrant County, Texas) is an American country musician, producer, and record label founder.
Huskins is the oldest of three boys born to James and Brenda Huskins. He is a well-known fiddle and keyboard player. After spending a brief time touring and performing with Gene Watson, Huskins joined the backup band for Clint Black. He toured with Black for many years, and performed on Black's early studio albums.
In 1995, Huskins joined popular country band Little Texas, replacing Brady Seals, where he played fiddle and keyboards and sang background vocals. When the band disbanded in 1997, Huskins spent several years producing albums for other artists. In 2003, after declining to reunite with the other former members of Little Texas, Huskins and former Little Texas lead vocalist Tim Rushlow were sued over the rights to the band's name.[1] The other former members won the suit and are currently touring under that name.
In February 2004, Huskins put his eighteen years in the music industry to work and created his own record label, Vivaton, of which he is the current president and CEO. The company quickly named Chely Wright as its flagship artist, with Huskins co-producing her first project. Although she left the label shortly afterwards, Vivaton has since signed Mark Chesnutt and other artists.
