The Talleys

The Talleys are a southern gospel group. The original Talley Trio formed in the late 1960s consisting of siblings Roger, Diane, and Kirk Talley. They recorded two albums. The group relaunched in 1983 billed at The Talleys with Roger's wife Debra joining the two brothers. All three (Roger, Debra, and Kirk) had toured previously with The Hoppers and Kirk had just completed a stint with the Cathedral Quartet. The group disbanded in 1993, then relaunched in 1996 with Lauren Talley joining her parents billed again as The Talley Trio. Several albums were released under this name. In 2011, after Lauren's then husband Brian Alvey began touring with the group, the name reverted to The Talleys. In 2020, Roger and Debra retired from traveling and Lauren continued as a soloist.
