The summer concerts at the Brasstown Community Center continue with The Gladson Family. This was a new band for us last year and we are happy to welcome them back.
The Gladson Family Band enjoys entertaining crowds of all ages with a variety of old-fashioned bluegrass and gospel music. They will be performing a lively mix of fiddle tunes, breakdowns and nostalgic songs of the past. The family of five includes Todd and Juliet, and their children; Harlen, 16, Lindy, 14, and Lemuel, 12.
All band members sing and play a stringed instrument for the performance. Harlen is often heard on the banjo, guitar, fiddle and mandolin; Lindy on the fiddle, guitar, and mandolin; Lemuel on the mandolin and fiddle. We look forward to seeing a large crowd of familiar and new faces at the Brasstown Community Center.
