Just wanted to remind everyone that we're opening for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver tomorrow evening at the Cullman Civic Center in Cullman, AL. The concert starts at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you there!

It's about time for an update or two on this website, or so I've been told! We've been staying busy singing and playing!

The first of December, we were able to fly out to Arizona for a week. Besides singing at three different churches, we got to see the Grand Canyon, go mountain climbing, and a lot of other fun stuff! We really enjoyed the trip!

Rachel is now engaged to a young man from Lyles, TN, by the name of Eric Vick. They are planning on getting married in August, and we are really happy for them! There will be lots of work get done, lots of dresses to make, and lots of decorating to do! But we are excited and looking forward to it!

Well, I won't make any promises, but I'll do my best to keep this updated more often! And we'd like to hear from y'all, too! You can drop us a line by using our comment box, and some one will be sure to email you back!

This past weekend we headed over to Smithville, TN, to compete in the 37th Annual Smithville Fiddlers Jamboree. We had a lot of fun, and actually didn't get home too late - 12:30 a.m. (Well, that's early for a contest, anyway!) The main highlight of the day was when Abby won 1st place in the National Championship Country Musician Beginners guitar competition! We are all really excited about that! Sarah also placed 2nd in the banjo competition, which was pretty exciting as well!

This coming weekend, we're planning on competing at Uncle Dave Macon Days in Murfreesboro, TN. Hope to see ya there!

I had a request to video tape Esther playing "Amazing Grace" on her fiddle. I uploaded it to You Tube. I thought some of yall might like to see it, so I decided to put a link to it here on our website.

Hey!
We hope everyone's doing good! We just got back from a week-long trip to Florida. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with our family, and also had the privilege of playing at a few places including Bible Baptist Church, Floridatown Baptist Church, and the Farmers Opry.
If you're new to this website, please drop us a note and let us know what you think about it. We are excited about all the places we'll be playing at in the next few months, and hope to see y'all there!

Here's a video from a contest that we attended last week in Clarksville, TN.

Due to the relocation of our web hosting company, our website will be unavailable for a short amount of time. This is scheduled to begin at midnight on Friday, March 28th, 2008, and should last for a period of 24-48 hours.

We've just added some more music clips. These are from our latest cd, Old Time Favorites, which is being reproduced at this time and should be ready in a week or two. We put thirteen instrumental songs on this one - five Gospel and eight bluegrass tunes. So check out the new clips on the Music page!

I know several people have asked us about getting tickets for the concert on June 6th, in Cullman, AL, where we'll be opening for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. Well, the tickets are available now, so send us a note if you would like more information concerning this.

Hey, everybody, we've got music on our website now!!! So be sure to click on the "Music" page and listen to some samples! As of right now, we've just got clips from "Step On Out" but be sure to check back soon to hear clips from our new instrumental cd, "Old Time Favorites."
