Lou Band Deluca Hell To Pay CD

As the band's ambition grew, so did their size. In early 1996 they added a four-piece horn section, expanding to eight members. Shortly after, they added a trombonist to the lineup. The large addition gave the Hogs a means to expand upon the blues-based music they had been playing. It was also evident that their new sound was just as appealing to their audience as it was to the band itself. By this time the local buzz was loud; loud enough that all members quickly realized this 'part-time project' deserved their full attention. All other musical projects were disbanded.

Mindy plays bass and sings. Ken plays guitar, sings, and plays harmonica. The drum beats were initially provided by a Yamaha PSR-270 keyboard that Ken operated with a footswitch. However, their music has attracted a host of local musicians who now often play with the band at live shows. Most notably are John Bennett (lead guitar) and Scott Corliss (drums), of local group the Vellotones.

The Livingroom Legends were voted "favorite new band" in 2003, and recently took 1st Place in the Augusta Chronicle's songwriting competition.

Ken and Mindy have two daughters, 6 years and 16 months old. Ken is working as a substitute teacher, and trying to get his Masters in Special Education. Mindy used to work as a machinist, but currently runs the house & the band. The two have been building a local following, while at the same time using the resources on the internet to get their music to people around the world.

MindyMindy Kay Stephens was born in Griffin, Georgia, but soon moved to New York, where her father was from, where she lived until she was ten years old.

Mindy was always surrounded by music: guitar- playing/songwriting father; piano/guitar-playing mother; guitar-playing sisters; and everyone sang, including Mindy. Taking no interest in formal, musical instruction (she tried clarinet for a year during fourth grade), Mindy sang in the Rosemont Heights Baptist church choir in Waynesboro, Georgia, and discovered Carol King at the age of twelve.

Mindy moved to Atlanta in 1995, and later began a three-and-a-half-year hobby of singing at karaoke bars, doing an average of two or three songs a week. She moved back to the Augusta, Georgia area in 1999, and continued to occasionally sing.
