The Hootens have been singing together for over fifteen years in different capacities. Donnie's passion for ministering through southern gospel music drives this power-packed ministry, making The Hootens one of the premier gospel ministries in Texas!

Donnie is the manager, emcee, promoter, and baritone singer. He began a monthly gospel concert series several years ago in Waskom, Texas, bringing in national groups that have been a big hit. It is now in Shreveport, LA and going strong.

Currently the group is comprised of Donnie and his two sons, Zachariah and Elijah, from Jefferson, TX. Bass singer, Landry James, is from Louisiana. Zach is the group's lead singer, and Eli is on tenor. Donnie's wife, Angela, and their daughter, Carli were group members in the past, but now only sing on rare occasions.

The Hootens always have a great time laughing together and consider it an honor to sing for Jesus. They are thankful for the opportunity to minister through southern gospel music and are often complimented on the messages in their song selections.
