Bass - Garrett Gunn
Meet Garrett, a passionate newcomer to the quartet scene who joined Living Water 2020. His love for Southern Gospel music ignited in the 70s when he witnessed George Younce perform the "Laughing Song" at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, TX. Encouraged by his childhood friend Brian Rayburn, Garrett took the plunge at 54, embracing his role as a performer and now as a published song writer. Known as "Pop" Gunn to his seven grandchildren and husband to Wendy, affectionately called "BB Gunn," Garrett balances his music with a career at AT&T and his duties as a volunteer firefighter in Mount Pleasant, TX.
BARITONE - JOHN FITCH
John "Cornbread" Fitch has been a passionate singer in quartets since 1996. As one of the founding Members of The Pleasant Mountain Boys, he has shared his love for music all across the East Texas area, playing mandolin and harmonizing with his fellow musicians. Married to Dee since 1991, they are often seen shopping thrift stores and junk shops together, (Dee was born to shop). John cherishes any opportunity to share the gospel song and as he puts it, "a good potluck eatin meetin." (But that's not why we call him "Cornbread")
LEAD - TIM HAMONTREE
Tim's journey in music began in a southern gospel singing family, where he was surrounded by the sounds of harmony from a young age. Sitting on a stool while his dad, aunt, and cousins rehearsed, he developed a deep appreciation for gospel music and knew he wanted to be part of it. Over the years, Tim has been a member of The Glory Road Quartet, The Calvary Boys of Dallas, The Canaan Heirs along with Larry Thomas, (See Below) The Central Sound Quartet out of Round Rock Texas, and The Classics Quartet, just to name five.

Now residing in Georgetown, Texas Tim serves as the worship pastor at Grace Bible Church, sharing his passion for music and faith with his wife Shari, their daughter, son-in-law and two cherished grandchildren.
