Origin

Taylor, Madison and Logan Cain grew up in Alabama, where their dad was the pastor of a Pentecostal church. The trio's musical career got an early start when, at four years old, Taylor Cain wrote a Christmas song for them to sing in three-part harmony.

All three were home schooled until they were teenagers, eventually attending their local public high school. [1] After high school, the siblings all attended Troy University in Troy, Alabama. [2] In 2012, the trio entered a contest to open for singer-songwriter Dave Barnes. After winning, they each quit their jobs and moved to Nashville. [3]
