Born on a cold winter night in 2009 to warm the hearts of happy-hour-goers at Austin’s legendary Hole in the Wall Bar, the Carper Family brought together three of Austin’s most talented young country and bluegrass singers and pickers… Melissa “Daddy” Carper [vocals,… Show more bass], Beth “Mama” Chrisman [vocals, fiddle], and Jenn “Little Sister” Miori [vocals, guitar] each grew up singing and playing music with their families. By the time they created their new “family band”, each had already led her own band and sat in with some of Austin’s finest musicians. But this particular collaboration has blended stunning three part harmonies into the finest old country, old-time, bluegrass, and swing tunes.

Already cheered on stages and street corners from Anchorage to New Orleans, the Carper Family looks forward to showing off their singing and playing for fans of good country music everywhere.
