Tom Frye: Vocals, Guitars, Harmonicas, Keys, Mandolin

Father and front-man for the band, Tom enjoys gardening, the out-doors and spending time with his wife and children. Tom also has an appreciation for a warm cup of dark coffee and reading, some of his favorite authors are Brennan Manning, Glenn Beck and Donald Miller. He also has a particular interest in history, especially biographies about Native Americans. As you might imagine Tom enjoys a wide range of musicians, from Christian artists including Rich Mullins, Mitch McVicker, and Andrew Peterson, to songwriters such as John Prine, John Mellencamp, Paul Simon, Five for Fighting and Jason Mraz. And anyone who knows Tom would attest to the fact that the list would incomplete without the mention of classic-rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd. Tom is a graduate of Ball State University, which is also where he met Lisa and learned to play guitar. He is also the contemporary worship pastor at Westchester United Methodist Church in Portland, Indiana.

After spending 2015 studying worship music and songwriting at Hillsong College in Sydney, Australia, Maggie is now enrolled at Taylor University where she is studying professional writing.

She also has appeared in many theatrical productions in both civic and professional theater, including roles as Lucy in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown and Martha in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and as everyone’s favorite orphan Annie, in the musical of the same name. Additionally Maggie has appeared in South Pacific, The Sound of Music, Suessical the Musical, Mame, Beach Blanket Bearcreek, Oklahoma, My Fair Lady, and many others. Though she is not a sports fan, Maggie is quite willing to keep the score-book for the church softball team, she also enjoys reading just about anything and has (maybe a little too much) fun making up little songs about her brother.

Jonathon Frye:

Vocals, Bass Guitar, Rhythm & Lead Guitar, Keys, Ukulele, Recorder, Drums, Percussion, Tech

He enjoys playing softball on his church’s team, board games (especially when he can talk his sisters into playing Clue), working outside with his dad; gardening, cutting wood and even changing the oil in the family van. Jonathon also loves watching movies and making people laugh.

Lisa Frye: Auxiliary Percussion, Inspiration

After spending seventeen years as a stay-at-home/homeschool mom, wife and mother, Lisa now works as a Social Service Director. When traveling with the Family, you will usually find Lisa at the merch table, though she does occasionally speak as part of the Family to Family Events, and (with much coaxing) will join the family to play percussion on a song or two. She also has been involved in a few stage productions (Secret Garden, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, & I’ll Be Home for Christmas) though she is much more comfortable behind the scenes. Besides spending time with her husband and children, she also enjoys gardening, ballroom dancing, backyard bonfires, and sports, including church softball, volleyball and jogging. Lisa is a graduate of Ball State University with a degree in social work.

Eric Reynolds: Drums, Percussion

The only non-family member, Eric joined the Frye Family Band in the fall of 2014 helping to round out the foursome as Kaylyn left for college. He continued to be regular throughout the 2015 touring season in Maggie’s absence. And was just too much fun to not make an official part of the band. In addition to playing with the Fryes, Eric drums with his church’s worship team, and has drummed professionally in several bands, including the Lennon Brothers.

Eric is the proud father of two children. His daughter Ericka is in her Junior year at Indiana University, and his son Ean is a high school Senior.
