Anyone who’s afraid that true country music is disappearing from the modern world needs to discover The French Family Band.
Originally from Australia and now based in Nashville, The French Family Band takes inspiration from the country and Western swing icons of decades past, creating and performing American roots music that’s most assuredly vibrant and fully alive. The group appeared on the legendary Grand Ol’ Opry four times in 2023, which is all the proof of life any fan should need. Ringing endorsements from folks like Marty Stuart and Connie Smith don’t hurt, either.
The core lineup of the band is an actual nuclear family that just happens to be incredibly talented. Guitarists/vocalists Stuie French (Dad), Camille French (Mum), and Sonny French (Son) are a clan of uncommon gifts and display skills that rival the stars of country’s Golden Age. Their combined sound is smooth, sweet, and ferocious. Echoes of Chet Atkins, Anne Murray, and Merle Haggard can be detected but their style and spirit are all in the family. Their sophisticated twin guitar harmonies and blended vocals set them apart from practically everyone.
Joelle's rich, comforting voice feels like a steady hand guiding you through the paradox of beauty and pain in ordinary life. Joelle's music captures emotional pulses that resonate deeply with her listeners, flowing with both stuffing simplicity and vibrant complexity. www.joellehochstedler.com
