Description

Denison University’s Bluegrass Festival presents The Price Sisters in concert with special guests the American Roots Ensemble Denison University’s Bluegrass Festival presents The Price Sisters in concert with special guests the Denison University American Roots Ensemble. Music has always had a resounding presence in the lives of twin sisters Lauren Price Napier and Leanna Price. Growing up, both of their parents sang traditional and old-time country songs. As the sisters grew up hearing duet harmony, they naturally became accustomed to singing together themselves. During the spring of 2016, the girls were signed to Rebel Records and subsequently recorded and released an EP that August, thus beginning the pursuit to tour professionally as The Price Sisters. The Price Sisters have now performed at numerous venues and festivals across the United States and were also included in a 10-day tour of The People’s Republic of China in 2015. The sisters released their first full-length album for Rebel, 'A Heart Never Knows,' in spring of 2018. In 2019, the band hired Lincoln Hensley on banjo, Bobby Osborne II on bass, and Conner Vlietstra on guitar in 2019. Denison’s Bluegrass Festival continues on Saturday, February 19, with workshops taking place from noon to 3 p.m. in the Eisner Center for Performing Arts. Participants are invited to bring their own instruments for the band mixer style workshops with guest artists Mile Twelve. Saturday evening’s concert features Mile Twelve performing with special guests the Denison University American Roots Ensemble at 7 p.m. in Swasey Chapel.
