The recipe for Hot Apple Pie includes a Virginia-bred flat-picking guitar champion/bass player, a Cajun drummer/accordionist, a Texan guitarist with a degree in jazz, a proven hit singer/songwriter and a dash of that indefinable something called musical charisma.

"Hot Apple Pie is the perfect name for a band, isn't it?" comments Trey Landry. "This is 100% natural, no artificial ingredients," says Sparky Matejka with a laugh. "From the very first day we played together, we knew this was a great mix," recalls Brady Seals. "And, yes, that's really us playing on the record," adds Keith Horne.

What a concept. In an era when teen-heartthrob pop vocal quartets are called "boy bands" and when country "groups" hire session musicians to play on their records, the sound of Hot Apple Pie is indeed refreshing. You can hear it in every groove of its DreamWorks Records debut — this is an honest-to-goodness band.
