Hello! We're The Carrell Family.  We are a family band located in northeast Alabama with Father, Mother, Son and Daughter singing and playing instruments to glorify the Lord. We would love to perform for your church or appropriate event.  We play Bluegrass Gospel style music.  We've been playing as a band since February 2008.

        Daddy plays the upright bass
        Mama plays the pink guitar
        Brother plays the 3-finger banjo and the clawhammer banjo
        Sister plays the mandolin and the fiddle

The children are the main members of this band.  Dad and Mom are just hanging on.  In fact, this is the children's band.  They had a meeting and invited us in.

In 2008, Brother won 2nd place in Jack Hatfield's Smokey Mountain Banjo Academy's Three-finger Bluegrass Banjo contest and 1st place in the Clawhammer Banjo contest.  In 2009, he became the Old Timey Banjo Grand Champion of the Cherokee County Fiddler's Convention.

Sister wows the audience with her fast mandolin pickin' and fun fiddlin'.  She doesn't do contests.

We base what we do on

          Psalm 33:3:

                   - Sing a new song to Him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.

I encourage you to read the entire Psalm 33.  It is 22 verses of Praise to the Creator.  It explains how the heavens and the earth and all that is in them were created by God.  It tells us that happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.  God desires our praises and instructs us to sing joyfully unto Him.

We hope that all we do glorifies and praises Him.  So, if you ever see us doing something not glorifying to God, please, pull us aside and give us a little nudge back in the right direction.

We would enjoy coming to your location and singing with you.  To invite us to your location just sent us your contact information via the Contact Us page.
