The Wallace Family, Musicians
|
The Wallace Family is a musical family from the Fort Worth, Texas area.
Their shows reflect their unique blend of Texas style old time fiddling,
western swing, cowboy, gospel, and bluegrass music. The Wallace's
are a very close family, and playing music is something that they
truly enjoy doing.
Brook is a 15-year-old fiddler, vocalist and guitarist who has
won many titles and awards with her amazing fiddling including the
Jr. World Championship (Crockett, Texas), the Texas State Jr. Championship
(Halletsville, Texas), and the National Jr. Jr. Championship (Weiser,
Idaho). Not only does she play with her family, but Brook also appears
with other country, western, and swing acts when the need for a
fiddler arises. Despite her young age, her ?on the fly? improvisations
and creativity have allowed her to log numerous hours in recording
studios as a session musician.
Sally Ann is a 13 year old vocalist and multi-instrumentalist that
has a natural ability to play most any stringed instrument that
she picks up. So far, the list includes fiddle, mandolin, guitar,
tenor guitar, 5 string banjo, tenor banjo, bass, and lap steel guitar.
Bethany is 11 years old, sings, is a great yodeler, and plays the
tenor guitar and fiddle. She likes to sing cowboy yodeling songs
and loves to listen to singer/songwriter Janet McBride.
Caleb is 11 years old and plays both fiddle and bass and loves
to sing Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, or Bob Wills music.
Madalyn (Maddie Belle) is 8 years old and cute as can be in her
Dale Evans outfit. She is a great singer, yodeler, and fiddler as
well. Sometimes, she really gets into beating her tamborine.
The rhythm of the group is anchored with the boom of Paul's 1943
J-45 Gibson guitar. Joshua will be playing it before we know it.
Christy and Joshua are always around enjoying the music. Joshua
will be two years old in November, 2003 (He also has a little brother
named Seth that was born in August, 2003).
