   About the Roe Family Singers
The Roe Family Singers are an old-timey music group. We started as a husband-and wife duo, playing a few Johnny and June Carter Cash songs at a tribute to the two of them shortly after Johnny Cash died. We have now grown into a 7-member hillbilly band! We write our own songs, and we also enjoy playing music by other people. On any given night you can hear us playing anything from Hank Williams to Bill Staines; from 400 year old ballads to Misfits songs; from Bill Monroe to Melanie; all with a healthy dose of the Carter Family thrown in. To book us contact pappyroe(at)yahoo(dot)com

We love playing shows. We tour whenever we can, seeing the rest of the country and meeting new folks. You should have us at your next festival or wedding: we love to play at them. We also want to be on Prairie Home Companion, the Grand Old Opry, and Mountain Stage some day. To book us contact pappyroe(at)yahoo(dot)com

In the blog there are links to live recordings made of us over the past few years. Check them out and let us know what you think, please. To book us contact pappyroe(at)yahoo(dot)com

Love your music and hope your band come to L.A.

Dear Roe Family Singers:
Thanks for having accepted my friendly invitation and added to my ever-growing roll of musical friends.
Beautiful voices, good steady guitar pickings plus a wide variety of musical instruments such as folkcello, autoharp, ukelele, banjo, jingle bells, maracas, mandolin and an odd musical saw parade along the repertoire giving different colors, lights and hues to the songs and the result is a fine blending my ears like to hear.
As I think we worldwide musicians should be united and support one another, I would like you to listen to my upcoming CD "Nas quebradas do sertão", a record
based mostly on provincial music, my very roots, to be out next spring.
Congratulations on your music and please receive a musical embrace from your Brazilian friend and admirer,

Taquinho Noronha

If I had had claws--I really don't know why I would have had claws...maybe just long fingernails...anyway--Randy would have at least 4, if not 5, acute anticipation-related puncture wounds in his back from Monday night. Which is pretty telling given the fact that you let the anticipation build for about 3 seconds!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Just don't name him or her Froelich, nor Gaarder niether! He-or-she'll get teased! I always liked the name Quinn, however. Wholesome, strong & unteasable.

Howdy from Zurich, Switzerland. I thought you might enjoy a hit from a different server. Looking forward to meeting you guys again when Heelsplitter comes up to your neck of the woods to hang out with Loudray.

My lil' brother, Kurt, plays washtub for LOUDRAY. Kurt, Faith and I enjoy spending quality time at the 331 listening to you guys. We'd like to try to get the parents up at some point, too. It's always fun to have music that the whole family can enjoy. Thanks.
