The Hootens have been singing together for over 10 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! He is the manager, emcee, promoter, and lead/baritone singer. He began a monthly gospel concert series several years ago in Waskom, Texas, bringing in national groups that has been a big hit. In 2020, that concert series moved to Bossier City and continues to grow!

Donnie is married to Angela. She loves movies, trying new restaurants and adventures, hiking, and spending time with Donnie and their kids, Carli, Zach, and Eli. Carli is a mechanical engineer and loves traveling, outdoor adventures, trying new things, movies, and all things DIY. Zach is an avid reader, loves adventure, animals, video games, spending time with friends, and trying new foods, like his mom. Eli loves singing, video games, spending time with friends, and being his dad's sidekick.

The Hootens are thankful for the opportunity to minister through Southern Gospel music. They are often complimented on the messages in their song selections. If you want a quality music ministry contact them today!
