The Link family is slated to perform gospel and bluegrass music at Harmon Park Friday.
The Link Family is a true family band, featuring dad, mom, five children and two in-laws from Lebanon, Missouri.
They are having the "time of their lives" traveling on their Silver Eagle bus and sharing their music in churches, bluegrass festivals, theaters, Silver Dollar City, U.S. military bases, R.V. parks and various events.
The family consists of Rachel, 21, Kyle, 20, Benjamin, 13, Aaron, 10, John, 9, Becky (mom), Lance (dad), son-in-law, Landen Keeler and daughter-in-law, Ashley Link.
Each member of the family participates in the band’s performance. Rachel brings to the group a strong lead and harmony voice while playing mandolin, guitar and bass.
Kyle plays all the instruments on stage, mostly fiddle and guitar while singing lead and harmony.
Benjamin also plays all the instruments on stage, mostly banjo, sings lead and harmony.
Aaron sings lead and plays the fiddle while John sings lead and is learning mandolin.
Becky plays rhythm guitar and bass while singing lead and harmony and Lance brings in the foundation sound on the bass fiddle, sings bass as well as being the bus driver and manager.
Landen joins in as sound man and Ashley adds twin fiddling with Kyle.
Traveling and singing together has its joys and challenges while giving allowance for The Link Family to learn much about life as a family, to meet the many wonderful people that make up the strong fabric of our nation, and to see the beauty of the American landscape.
This family group brings a refreshing performance that will leave you smiling, encouraged and tapping your foot.
Whether it's a tribute to the veterans, a traditional bluegrass or Gospel tune or some hot instrumental work, you can be assured that the band and the audience will be moved by the music and the message to be of good cheer, press forward and enjoy life.
