They met June 2005 in Chattanooga Tn
They performed gospel with a mission of taking care of struggling troubled inner city children at a get away "unplugged" camp ministry. 2006-2008
11 years later They were FINALLY wed Sept 2016. Shays mother was the officiant. Her stepfather of 38 yrs & her biological father were there. The bride & groom sang Faithfully by JOURNEY as their vows and...THAT was the first moment that the family ever heard them sing together.
Shay lost both her fathers that following year to cancer, their last wishes, because of that wedding song, was for them to go out & perform. With only 4 songs known between them. They set out to do a few small performances opening for popular local bands to honor them. These performances led to bookings that continue to fill their calendar to present day. Neither dreamed of music being their primary way of life. Their 1st original CD release in 2019 "MOTHER LEGACY Go Find Yourself" had CD sell outs weekly.

  • “The songs of sisterhood MOTHER LEGACY Shay’s real, and she’s raw. She’s glamorous, righteously angry, tender, and unflinchingly honest. She makes you listen – not just to her, but to yourself. And she has the courage to give us her battered heart in song and to accept ours tenderly.”
    Shannon Marie, Layla Promotions
  • “Where do I start? These 2 blend as one in harmony in every aspect of the word! They play off each other’s energy in a perfect “yin/yang” kind of way. Shay Collins and “Just” Steve quite often make the drive to Woodstock, GA from Chattanooga, TN to perform on the patio at Madlife. They may need a bigger patio! It was packed! People from across the street were cheering and clapping! From the first song,”Burning House” and that incredible harmony, to several of their originals, “Blame it on the Rain”, “Guess”, “Good Kind of Hurt”, and others... that patio was spilling over into the parking lot! When these 2 are on the stage, you can’t help but listen. People flock to them.. hence, “Mother Flockers!” They will be on the patio at Madlife every first Tuesday of the month for bike night. If you come see them once, you’ll be back!”

  • “I have worked with Shay and Steven of Mother Legacy for over two years have yet to find a more dedicated duo who continuously perform to a professional level. Not only are they a wonderful singing duo but they are entertainers, always involving their audience in their shows as well as the friendly banter on stage. Additionally, they are always willing to help others in whatever way they can. They have been involved in many benefit shows which they have been called on. I am proud to be a Mother Flocker!
