Whistle Stop enjoys performing traditional bluegrass and gospel songs. The harmony of three family female voices gives the group a destinctive sound.
Whistle Stop is a family band consisting of mom, dad and 2 daughter. We are a traditional bluegrass/gospel band with a very unique sound of three female vocalists. Our love of bluegrass music started on a “camping trip” to Wickenburg, AZ in November 1995. To our pleasant surprise we were introduced to bluegrass music and it's wonderful family environment. Brittany - 6 and Briana - 3 were given their first guitars.
Brittany, now 20, shows her style on lead and rhythm guitar; and is a strong young vocalist. Brittany's newly discovered song writing talents are clearly defining Whistle Stop's sound and direction. Briana, now 17, plays lead and rhythm guitar, mandolin, and a spirited fiddle. She frequently surprises the audience with the maturity her voice commands. Mom (Carol), in addition to vocals, adds her dobro skills, and Dad (Greg) completes the band on the standup bass and harmony vocals.
