Though he has played with many legends of bluegrass in career, he is most known for his twelve years with the legendary, James King Band. During his time with King, Kevin was part of two "Album of the Year", a "Song of the Year" and a "Recorded Event of the Year", award winning projects. Kevin also was nominated for "Banjo Player of the Year" during a three year stint with The Bluegrass Brothers. There is an long list or additional legends Kevin has traveled with during his bluegrass career.

The Kevin Prater Band is in its 17th year living up to the band motto "Coal-Fired, Pure Kentucky Bluegrass". The band also enjoys additions of classic country, bluegrass gospel, original tunes and grassed up vintage rock in their shows.

Codie is a recent graduate of Bluegrass at Campbellsville Community College. On fiddle, Eb Sunders (Chattanooga, TN.), Eb is 16 years old and a sophomore at Chattanooga State Community College studying Criminal Justice.
