About
INSPIRING, HILARIOUS, based on actual events, The Good Book: the true story of Y'ALL is the autobiography of a very out-of-the-ordinary singing duo. James Dean Jay Byrd was born October 28, 1967, in the broom closet of the Okey-Dokey, Texas, VFW hall during a preaching contest in which his father was competing. Steven CheslikDeMeyer was born March 22, 1968, in the upstairs bedroom of his parent's unfinished farmhouse in Kornflake, Indiana. Being the son of an itinerant tent revivalist, Jay Byrd grew up traveling Texas with his family. Being the son of farmers, Steven spent his early years on the farm. But a vision of biblical proportions sent Jay Byrd, in his Uncle Joe's "lucky green dress", on a journey to a pumpkin patch in Circleville, Ohio, where Steven -- on his own journey -- was waiting. A terrible thunderstorm brought Jay Byrd and Steven together, but music kept them together. They found that the songs they wrote and the way they sang together was special so they made their way together to New York City and started performing together as the duo Y'ALL. The Good Book: the true story of Y'ALL tells the story of how two voices that were born to sing together found each other.
