About the Band
Nice to Meet You!
We are Southern Raised, a bluegrass band from the Ozark mountains that has created a trademark sound where classical meets bluegrass and city streets meets country roads.
Collectively we have received nominations from Singing News Fan Awards, Diamond Awards, Front Porch Fellowship and a staggering 32 SPBGMA Midwest nominations, Bass Performer of the Year, nominated 4- time Fiddle Performer of the Year, Band of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Christian Country Album of the Year, to name a few.
““They thrill me with their singing and playing. They intrigue me with their ideas. They inspire me with their love for the Lord and each other. In short, they are amazing.””
