Noel Lovellette served his country in the Air Force in Vietnam. After his military service, he operated his family ranch in Holland, TX. Noel played rhythm guitar and mandolin with the “Cowboys for Hire”. Band members said, “Don’t let his gray hair fool you; he can still jump into the pen and sort cattle with the best of them, and does frequently on the cow/calf operation he runs near Holland, TX with his bride Margie. He has a great vocal range and we use him from baritone to high tenor, and his love for bluegrass has its influence on the music as well.”
