Daisy Street Station was originally the Oklahoma Hill Toppers. In the beginning it consisted of Jim Hill on Banjo, Judy Hill on Bass, Tommy Moore on Guitar and Lucille Moore on Vocals. Tommy & Jim both did vocals. They were later joined by Carl Blankenship on mandolin and vocals. In the 1980s Jim and Judy Hill moved overseas and Tommy Moore traveled the globe on his job so the band was inactive for several years. When they arrived home the band was revived and changed the name to Daisy Street Station. In about 2001 J.T.(Tommy) Summerland joined the band playing fiddle. With that we had a complete Bluegrass and Bluegrass Gospel Band.
At present the band is playing in many Churches through out the area. Each time they play a church there is someone from another Church that wants them for their Church.
