RV Park Music Entrainment

OLD TIME MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOUR RESORT, CAMPGROUND, OR RV PARK. The Allegheny String Band is a retired, military family with Dad serving this great country for 37 years. Our eldest son, Jeremy served in the 82nd Airborne during the first Gulf War and our middle son, Michael is serving on his 5th tour of duty overseas, right now with the Army. We started as an RV'ing family just last year. We have 6 children, 3 grown and 3 still at home. All of our children love music and play some kind of instrument. We will play most anywhere! We love traveling in the motor home and have lots of room for all our musical equipment, 3 teenagers, possessions, and still have room to relax. The kids’ musical journey began four years ago, and they have been quickly moving up in the world of music. The 3 youngest kids wanted to play instruments. We knew from our older kids how wonderful music in the family can be. When we adopted the younger three children, we added music to our family once again, this time with a variety band. Mary, 17, and Joe, 16, started taking fiddle lessons but soon were learning how to play on their own as it was difficult to find advanced teachers in our remote area. After mastering fiddle, Mary taught herself mandolin and keyboard. Also, Joe decided to learn banjo. Being self-taught allowed them to learn at their own pace and advance quickly. Beth, 14, plays guitar and is learning fiddle. Both of the girls play keyboard. Thanks to the help of a local music teacher, David Bush, the kids are now taking voice lessons. David helps them with arrangement and recording for their songs. From the start, all three younger kids have expressed a love of music and shown much talent. In 2008, they insisted that their father play double bass. So, after purchasing a bass, they taught him how to play. Pete now plays with them at every show. Their musical repertoire has grown and now includes a variety of music, including Bluegrass, Irish, Country, Waltzes, Reels, and Patriotic songs. Wherever they go, people enjoy them and many follow us on our RV adventures. When the kids are not playing music, they enjoy reading, farming, and visiting their older siblings. They also take pleasure in touring the country as a family. All of this is accomplished with home schooling. We have home schooled for 20 years and enjoyed all of our family time together. We play at festivals, fairs, campgrounds, RV Parks, weddings, special events, military bases, VFW's and American Legions, clubs, farmers markets and even the Wheeling Jamboree, to name a few. These organizations pay for our entertainment and especially senior citizens enjoy our music.
