Wow - I'm always too late .... this was a home schooled family band ... and are they talented. Their sister died unexpectedly - so the parents took the remaining children to a bluegrass festival ...and that is how they formed their own band. Sold their house - bought a bus - traveled the US and then Europe - all in about 6 or 8 years. They disbanded so the children could follow their individual dreams .... BJ Cherryholmes is the fiddle player for Dailey and Vincent for the last 6 years (2015). This wasn't my favorite CD but I loved their Black and White and I can't think of the name of the other but the cover looks a lot like Black and White. Now, I am in search of all their other CDS.

Cherryholmes will be disbanding in May of 011. They started out as a small family band in the early 90s. They had no experience whatsoever and picked up their instruments and learned them stone cold with no professional instruction. In 3 months they made their first live performance. Now, there are two time Grammy winners and represent the best Blue Grass has to offer. They are the best live act in all the industry, bar none. Look to hear the name Cia Cherryholmes a million times in the coming years as she is about to set the World on fire with her solo career.
One of my favorite albums to date, and one of the first bluegrass albums I ever bought. My personal favorite song on this album is red satin dress. What a classic murder/mystery song....oh ya fiddler molly kate was only 12 when this album was recorded, and can she ever saw them strings! Very talented family, and what a story they have, with how they started playing bluegrass. Once u start listening to cherryholmes or just bluegrass in general, u can't stop!!!
Wow is all I can say. I heard one of their songs on the internet radio, and as soon as i looked them up and watch a video of that performance, I went online and bought ALL their albums. Words can not express the talent that this family has. They are definitely great musicians. Its a shame that real music like Cherryholmes music is not ALL over the radio these days. Kids need to hear this instead of all the crap they put in their heads now days!
My son is learning to play the fiddle and has a very famous fiddle teacher. We seen Cherryholmes on CMT video online and my son's teacher told us that they play at some of the same fiddler's conventions. The family cd is wonderful and has twin fiddle players.
