SUMMARY:The French Family Band
DESCRIPTION:Country music just sounds better when a family sings it. That’s where it all began: mothers\, fathers\, grandparents\, aunts\, uncles\, and cousins\, all huddled together\, picking and singing on a porch in the twilight. That’s why when The French Family launch into the bittersweet ache of a classic or the startling tenderness of one of their self-penned original songs\, the hairs on country music loving necks stand up\, and we instinctively––sometimes tearfully––recognize this father\, mother\, and son as the real thing. “We hope our music takes people back to a time when the essence of country music was twangy guitars\, honest songs\, and vocals that tear your heart out.”

SUMMARY:The Moon and You
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, The Moon and You is a charismatic husband-and-wife team. Melissa Hyman plays cello\, Ryan Furstenberg plays guitar and banjo\, and both sing in “voices that sound like they were made for one another” (Bill DeYoung\, Connect Savannah). But whatever you might assume based on their gorgeous vocal blend and heartfelt lyrics\, this ain’t your basic folk duo. With a rotating cast of talented friends to add unexpected instrumentation to their lineup\, The Moon and You never plays the same show twice. This ever-evolving\, expandable and collapsible model leaves the band constantly reinventing itself in ways both surprising and satisfying.
