The Gillette Brothers, Guy and Pipp, found that diversification is not only a necessity, it keeps things interesting. Running the family ranch since 1983, they combine their cattle business with the music business – both as performers and music venue operators. The revitalization of cowboy music and poetry in recent years has allowed the brothers to combine their life long interest in the history of the west and its music with their musical experience. They have recorded and released five albums of traditional cowboy music interspersed with a few originals.

They have played at major events around the country including: the Western Heritage Classic in Abilene, Texas; the Cowboy Symposium in Lubbock, Texas; the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City; the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium in Glencoe, New Mexico; the Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering in Fort Worth, Texas; the Idaho State Cowboy Gathering in Nampa, Idaho; the Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, Georgia; the National Arboretum in Washington, DC; and the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. The Gillette Brothers were recipients of the 2003 and the 1998 Will Rogers Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Advancement of Contemporary Cowboy Music-Best Duo/Group by The Academy of Western Artists. They have also received the National Cowboy Symposium's American Cowboy Culture Chuck Wagon Award.

The Gillette Brothers run the Camp Street Cafe and Store in Crockett, Texas, a live music venue that has featured some of the top performers in the country.
