The Lovell SistersThree young sisters blend in heavenly harmony and play mandolin, fiddle and dobro. They are joined by talented collaborators on guitar and bass. The music has roots deep in bluegrass Appalachia, and branches growing ever upward and outward, towards parts as yet unknown. The Lovell Sisters Band has arrived and is making its presence felt.

Early signs were clear, when the ensemble from Calhoun, Georgia, won the “A Prairie Home Companion” talent contest. Then Rebecca won Merlefest’s mandolin contest, the youngest contestant -- and first female -- to do so. But it is harmony, rather than competition, that most distinguishes the group. Whether performing their original compositions or re-envisioning an old standard, The Lovell Sisters Band blends as only the classic family ensembles can. They provide a breath of fresh air and a sense of reassurance, that the music will be in good hands as it gets passed on to the next generation.

"The Lovell Sisters play like pros, sing like angels, look like models, and are one good CMT video away from stardom. Their energy is awesome and nobody in the Americana world wants to follow them on stage. They're better than 99.9 percent of the bands on country radio today, and I don't expect their eventual success to spoil them. A truly rare thing." (Chattanooga Pulse, 2007)
