Featuring sweet harmonies, banjo, autoharp, guitar, and Appalachian clogging, the Roe Family singers mix original music and old-time, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & Rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music. Sharing their joy of music, their energizing approach to old-time social music creates a warm, inclusive environment where all are welcome. The Roe Family Singers are a Good-Time, Old-Time Hillbilly band from the tiny community of Kirkwood Hollow, MN. Led by wife & husband Kim Roe (Best Female Vocalist, City Pages/Village Voice) and Quillan Roe (Accident Clearinghouse), the band marries old-time sounds from barn-dances, fiddle pulls, and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth. Featuring banjo, Autoharp, guitar, and Appalachian clogging, the band and family of fans have shared the stage with Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Del McCoury, the Grascals, and Jim Kweskin & Geoff Muldaur. In 2011 the band was awarded the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians. In 2012 they won the Minnesota Duet Contest at the Minnesota State Fair and in 2016 won the title of Entertainers of the Year from BMAI.
