Grandpa's Neighbors is a mother-daughter group that base out of
Bennington, OK. The girls play guitar, bass, mandolin, autoharp and
fiddle and sing a wonderful style of country gospel music to which you
would be hard pressed to find an equal. Their
music has often been compared to Alison Krauss, The Carter Family, The
Whites, The Isaacs, and other bluegrass and gospel greats. Grandpa's Neighbors
sings in a style reminiscent of the country churches that were the
backbone of every community in rural America.
Their truth-filled
messages always point back to Jesus, the source of their strength. The
inspiring, moving and often witty lyrics encourage both the mind and
the soul. Their tight harmony is sweet and simple, not taking away from
the message of the song and blessing anyone who appreciates music.
"I repent of ever having recorded one single song, and ever
having performed one concert, if my music, and more importantly, my
life has not provoked you into Godly jealousy or to sell out more
completely to Jesus!" — Keith Green
Lord, let our whole life and song bring Glory and Honor to Your name!!
