The Carper Family is at Davey’s Uptown Rambler this Thursday

The three women who make up the Carper Family are not related by blood. But bassist Melissa “Daddy” Carper, fiddler Beth “Mama” Chrisman and guitarist Jenn “Little Sister” Miori do share something visceral: a deep love of old-fashioned acoustic tunes. Together, the musicians produce vocal harmonies so pure and natural, you’d think they were triplets who started singing together in the womb.

The Carper Family has achieved substantial renown in its hometown of Austin, where the band is considered a local treasure for a sound deeper than mere country or bluegrass. The music is old-timey, but the lyrics are sharp and the live shows anything but boring.
