American bluegrass gospel group from Mount Airy, North Carolina, USA. Formed in 1951 by brothers Russell, James, and Edd Easter.
Owned [l1858634] and the [l751514] label.

The trio made more than 150 recordings for several major record labels including King, Rebel, County, and their own Commandment label. They continued recording until their last album, I’d Do It All Over Again, was released in 2014. They also hosted a regular radio show on WPAQ in their hometown of Mount Airy. They composed many songs that have become Gospel standards including Thank You Lord For Your Blessings On Me, The Darkest Hour, A Heart That Will Never Break Again and They’re Holding Up the Ladder.
