The Cantrells
Since they joined their lives in the early '80s, they have produced a striking blend of bluegrass, swing, jazz, and old-time music that has won them fans from coast to coast. Emily Cantrell was raised on a cotton and soybean farm in Nankipoo, TN, playing piano from the age of four, and performing with her brother. In 1980, she moved to Boulder, CO, where she met Tim O'Brien, the leader of the influential bluegrass band Hot Rize. Impressed with her singing, O'Brien invited her to sing harmony on "Queen of Hearts," on his 1984 release Hard Year Blues. Al Cantrell, a native of Corvallis, OR, was raised on the shore of Puget Sound in a place known as Three Tree Point, also to a musical family. It might be Al's fiddling, or it might be Emily's beautiful lyrics, or it might be their mastery of the several styles of music at their disposal, but we guarantee you'll be charmed.
