Trailer Choir

Trailer Choir was founded in 2004 by Marc Fortney, known as Butter; the current lineup also includes Vinny Hickerson and Crystal Hoyt, who are respectively known as Big Vinny and Crystal. They all grew up in Freedom WI.  The trio signed to Show Dog Nashville, a label owned by Toby Keith, in 2008. Its first recording for Show Dog was the track "Off the Hillbilly Hook", which was included in the soundtrack to the 2008 film Beer for My Horses, in which Toby Keith starred.

 

Shortly afterward, "Off the Hillbilly Hook" was released as a single and was made into a music video. Trailer Choir also released a digital EP on November 4. In 2009, Trailer Choir issued its second single, "What Would You Say." This became the group's first chart entry, peaking at #43 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in May 2009. On June 9, 2009, the group released a physical EP entitled Off the Hillbilly Hook, which included all four songs from the digital EP and two more songs. After its release came the trio's third single, "Rockin' the Beer Gut", which became the group's first Top 40 hit on the country charts in mid-2009. The song's music video features Wolf from American Gladiators. Steve Leggett of Allmusic gave this EP a three-and-a-half star review, saying that it was "catchy and commercial," and Greg Yost of Country Standard Time said "it is clear that not only is this trio funny, but Trailer Choir has the songwriting, vocal and music talent to sustain a career."

 

In December 2009, "Rockin' the Beer Gut" re-entered the charts following a "Holla Day Version" released for the Christmas season.
