The Bankester Family

The Bankester Family really is one of those bands that was actually discovered in the parking lot at a small bluegrass festival. They only knew two songs at the time, but it was enough to get them hired for their first gig.

Five years, hundreds of shows, thousands of miles, eleven states, two CDs, two vans and one son-in-law later, the family has matured into a fine-tuned band featuring exceptional vocals, with rock-solid instrumental backing. The band features Kyle Triplett, a gifted multi-instrumentalist who first met the family at Silver Dollar City in 2007. He later joined the band and family, marrying the oldest of the sisters, Melissa. She is the bass player, and does quite a bit of lead and harmony singing. Lindsey plays mandolin and brings a lower vocal range to the sisters’ blend. Emily and Alysha both sing and play fiddle, providing that great traditional twin fiddle sound. Dorene plays guitar and sings, as does Phil (with a little clawhammer banjo thrown in).

Their first music video, featuring the Becky Buller song "Carolina Rain" and produced by Nashville's Genuine Human Productions, has generated considerable attention. Featuring a mix of gospel, contemporary and traditional material, the band has a loyal following in the Midwest and is adding new fans everywhere they go, including fellow musicians and radio personalities alike.
