Johnny penned hit songs for the likes of Loretta Lynn\, Porter Wagoner\, and Emmylou Harris among many other artists. Johnny passed away in 2009\, and since 2013 Melinda has been on a mission to share her father’s body of work\, much of which she has unearthed in “the shoebox collection” of old cassette tapes containing previously undiscovered songs. The Layton Hollow Gals share songs from The Johnny Mullins Collection with harmony\, passion\, and a good dose of fun. \n  \n\n  \n“The Layton Hollow Gals deliver a heartfelt live music history of the songwriting of Melinda’s Dad\, Johnny Mullins. I confess to not having known much about Johnny Mullins\, but now have my appetite whetted. What an interesting man he was\, working as an elementary school custodian during the day\, and exploding with poetry and songs any time\, day and night. His sweet music and human insight have made it into his daughter. I encourage you to take a listen!” — Mike Paget\, Green Guitar Folk House\, Lenexa KS \n“I had the great pleasure of working with The Layton Hollow Gals as part of our Concerts in the Courthouse series. I found them to be personable\, professional and quite entertaining.
