The Burnett Sisters Band & The Cox FamilyThe family sound is in the core of bluegrass music.
For generations, families sang and played Old-Time and Bluegrass music in their homes, on the porch or around the kitchen table.
The skills of singing or playing an instrument have been passed from one generation to the other.
This concert will feature two family bands with their own unique sound.
The Burnett Sisters Band – Bluegrass, old-time, and folk music lovers alike can’t get enough of The Burnett Sisters Band, as siblings Anissa, Sophia, and Anneli and band mates Justin Alexander from Sweetwater, TN and Geary Allen from London, England are all gifted multi-instrumentalists who are well-known and well-loved in the traditional music circuit. The band brings a youthful energy and modern flair to each performance, while remaining true to the traditional roots of the genre. Their on-stage chemistry is unmistakable – the type that only close siblings can have, evident in exchanged glances and spontaneous smiles – and their musicianship is undeniable.
The Cox Family – from Cotton Valley, Louisiana continues a trademark sound spanning over seventy years of traditional roots in gospel, bluegrass and country music.
The continued legacy of founding member Willard Cox lives on through his son Sidney Cox and his daughters – Anna, Sara, and Lydia. Sidney’s eldest daughter (Anna) now plays bass and entered the band with her father and two aunts in 2016. Later, his two younger daughters: Sara (guitar) and Lydia (mandolin) joined the band in 2020.
Together, they have stayed true to the familiar harmonies by adding another generation to the music that audiences from all over the world have enjoyed for years.
