Biography
This dynamic singing-songwriting trio has, over the past several years, blended their collective talents into a truly unique, one-of-a-kind sound. Nash3 is comprised of Bill and Kim Nash and their youngest son, Jimmy.
Bill and Kim share strikingly similar backgrounds, both being preachers' kids. As a member of The Beltone Family Singers, Kim performed gospel music from coast to coast from the time she was eight years old. Bill also grew up in a family gospel group, The Nash Family Trio, who recorded several albums for Columbia Records.
In 1968, Bill began a solo career on Mercury Records which led him to many television appearances and chart-topping records. As a songwriter, Bill started his career with a couple of cuts by the legendary Eddy Arnold. In 1980, Bill met Kim, an event he says that happily brought an end to his solo career forever!
In late 1994, superstar Reba McEntire recorded a song that Kim and Bill collaborated on which became a top five hit single entitled, "They Asked About You." That song was included in McEntire's Greatest Hits Vol. II, an album that went to #1 and has currently sold over six million copies.
Their latest hit is "In God We Still Trust", which was not only a #1 independent record for Nash3, but was recorded by country supergroup, Diamond Rio, on Arista Nashville Records. Since the worldwide release of the single and music video, it has become increasingly popular, and is quickly becoming a patriotic standard.
Today, Bill, Kim, and Jimmy continue to write and sing unique and down to earth songs that touch the heart of their listeners.
