 | New Release: Somewhere In Between States, Styles and Music |

 Somewhere near Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana and Missiouri is The Bankester Family. In a fitting release title, their new CD, Somewhere In Between seems to fit. It also fits in other ways. The Bankester Family does traditional and contemporary bluegrass music and gospel tossed in for good measure. Thus, their music fits somewhere in between also. But don't let that hold you back!
Here is a group that has been together for a few years now and is at least one notch above most family bands. Popular artists in the region, it is surprising that they haven't been give more publicity. The girl's dynamic harmonies have certainly evolved into a wonderful blend that supports their music extremely well. Musically, they are just as well talented. There is a good balance with their sound. Smooth, tight and emotional.
This album is basically a bluegrass-gospel album. The a capella "Long Time Traveler" showcases their vocal strength and range. "Gospel Plow" goes one step further and complements the album's overall flavor and really demonstrates the power of the girl's harmonies. All the songs on this release are full of life and full of soul. The essence of the family band comes together somewhere in between all of this.
The album has already received good press and reviews. Jamie Dailey (Dailey & Vincent), Mike Kear (BluegrassCountry.org, Jamie Johnson (The Grascals) have all added their praise to this fine release. If this band keeps doing music like this, we are all going to hear more from them. Hearing more is what you'll want after hearing this album.
