The Peyton Brothers have been performing their unique style of bluegrass and folk music for over forty years. The four brothers, John, Dan, Michael and Lee, began playing as a hobby in 1972 and within a year of picking up instruments for the first time were making public appearances in and around their hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. In 1976 the group began performing on a full-time basis and quickly found themselves touring throughout the Southeast playing clubs, colleges, music festivals, theme parks, corporate and concert dates.
They have appeared in concert with The Dillards, John Hartford, Doc & Merle Watson, Gamble Rogers, Ralph Stanley, Mike Cross, Mike Reid and many other well known folk, bluegrass and country performers. In 1978 the band hosted its own TV show, The Peyton Brothers – Up Close and Musical, which aired on NBC's Jacksonville, Florida affiliate, WTLV. They also appeared for five consecutive summers at ABC's Silver Springs Park in Ocala, Florida.
In 1981 the band ceased performing full-time but continued to perform for select special events and festivals until their final concert together in June of 2013 to a sold out hometown crowd.
