   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 an 8-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, event, or show. To book us contact pappyroe(at)yahoo(dot)com

We love playing at weddings. You should hire us for yours! To book us contact pappyroe(at)yahoo(dot)com

We dream of performing on/at Prairie Home Companion, the Grand Old Opry, Merlefest, and Mountain Stage some day. We also aspire to meet Willie Nelson and Doc Watson. 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

We have played shows with Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, the Del McCoury Band, Dale Watson, Charlie Parr, Mountain Heart, Monroe Crossing, the Stairwell Sisters, Pert Near Sandstone, and the House of Mercy Band. We've played the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walkathon, Hurricane Katrina benefits, events for Accessability (a non-profit org. that helps folks with disabilities find work), farmers' markets, elementary schools, daycares, and grocery stores. We've talked at colleges and given seminars and workshops. We've played weddings, funerals, birthday parties, and anniversaries. To book us contact pappyroe(at)yahoo(dot)com
