One of 16 upcoming events at The Focal Point, and 654 across St. Louis Metro.
TICKETS COMING SOON Music has always had a resounding presence in the lives of twin sisters Leanna and Lauren. Growing up, their parents sang traditional and old-time country songs and as the sisters grew up hearing duet harmony, singing together just came along naturally. The Price Sisters began their professional career signing on to Rebel Records and releasing two projects for the label. The band has since performed at numerous venues and festivals across the United States as well as in Europe and Canada. While Lauren and Leanna front the band and are recognized for their twin-sister harmony singing, the girls are supported by band members who are each accomplished musicians in their own right. The group is made up of young multi-instrumentalists and vocalists who showcase traditional, yet fresh and innovative sounds. Lauren has instructed at the Monroe Mandolin Camp, DelFest Academy, Mandolin Camp North, Camp Bluegrass, Augusta Bluegrass Week, and more; Leanna has been a featured artist in Fiddler Magazine, worked as an apprentice of set-up and repair at Nashville’s The Violin Shop, and while living in Nashville was a frequent fiddler on WSM’s Grand Ole Opry. Banjo player Trevor Holder was awarded first prize on the banjo at the Old Fiddlers’ Convention in Galax, VA and has garnered wins at several prestigious contests. Bobby Osborne Jr on bass is no stranger to bluegrass and country music, having started his musical career touring with his father, the late Bobby Osborne of the Osborne Brothers. Conner Vlietstra is not only a talented guitarist and vocalist, but has soloed on the Grand Ole Opry, is an award-winner on several instruments, and is well-versed in material stemming from pre-bluegrass and country music catalogs. Both collectively and individually, band members have instructed and hosted various vocal and instrumental workshops/lessons in private and festival/group settings. The Price Sisters have performed at such events as the University of Chicago’s historic Folklife Festival, DelFest, Bean Blossom, and ROMP festival, and have been Artists in Residence for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Owensboro, KY. The band has been featured on Mandolin Café and in Fiddler magazine, and Bluegrass Unlimited magazine multiple times. The Price Sisters have garnered significant press through outlets such as No Depression, Paste Magazine, For Folk’s Sake, The Bluegrass Situation, and WSM’s The Eddie Stubbs Show. The Price Sisters band has been twice nominated for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Momentum Band of the Year, while Lauren has received nominations for Momentum Vocalist and Instrumentalist of the Year and Leanna for Momentum Vocalist. Presently, The Price Sisters are signed to the Del McCoury Band’s family record label, McCoury Music, and released their debut album for the label titled “Between the Lines” and produced by Ronnie McCoury, in 2024. Following their latest record release, The Price Sisters band made their debut on the world-revered Grand Ole Opry stage.
