Roots
The Konzelman Family has been playing music together for seven years and has had the opportunity to learn from, and play with some of the best musician in the world! Music started in the home for the Konzelman Family, but not as most would think. “Our parents were never really into music, dad played some Peter Paul and Mary songs on his guitar that he got as a high school graduation present but other than that nothing...”. With roots in classical music, the children were soon to latch on to the acoustic sounds of bluegrass and celtic music. “We learned how to put on shows basically as we traveled between fiddle contests and shows.” Since then the Konzelman Family has competed in and won many contests but their love for stage performance and encouraging others has always kept them performing as a family!
Family
This six children, two parents family has filled stages across the U.S. and Europe to bursting with their explosive energy and life! They sing, they dance, and they play almost every instrument that has strings. During any given show, you’ll see them playing fiddles, guitars, mandolins, pianos, bass, doing comedy so there’s never a dull moment, and even getting down with some high energy clogging! Ask any one of them, and they will tell you that not only do they have an absolute blast, but it has brought them closer as a family. They believe that their music makes a positive impact in people’s lives everywhere they go by showing them how families can work (and play!) together.
Travel
If you were to ask any member of the Konzelman Family if they like to travel the answer would be YES! The Konzelman boys love nothing more than a hotel pool and comfy beds on which to watch cartoons! “Its quite funny really, we don’t have television at home so when we get to anywhere that does, the boys are glued!” The Konzelman Family has traveled near and far to play shows of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a small corporate venue or a huge outdoor music festival, the band can adapt to fill whatever size stage they are given.
