The Hootens have been singing together for over 14 years in different capacities. Donnie's passion for ministering through southern gospel music drives this power-packed ministry, making The Hootens one of the premier gospel ministries in four-states region! He is the manager, emcee, promoter and baritone singer. He began a monthly gospel concert series several years ago in Waskom, Texas, bringing in national groups that have been a big hit. It is now in Shreveport, Louisiana and going strong.

Currently the group is comprised of Donnie and his two sons, Zachariah and Elijah. Zach is the group's lead singer and Eli is the tenor. On occasion Donnie's uncle, Ronnie Hooten, sings bass with the group. Donnie's wife Angela, and their daughter, Carli were group members in the past, but now only sing on rare occasions. Donnie, Zach, Eli, and Ronnie have a great time laughing together and love singing about Jesus!

The Hootens are thankful for the opportunity to minister through southern gospel music. They are often complimented on the messages in their song selections. If you want a quality music ministry contact them today!
