The Engells
Somewhere around 1990, Dad said we should all learn the fiddle and banjo. Of course half of us weren’t born yet in 1990 and the ones that were sort of preferred classical style music!! Well about then we moved to the Dunn Mountain foothills near Addy in Eastern Washington and…. WE were born. Luke-22 plays his own style of banjo he developed from Fiddlin’ Red and lots of jamming with the old-timers. He does much of the lead singing and harmonies along with Caleb 19, who’s been smokin’ up the fiddle for over 10 years now and plays a pretty mean mandolin and guitar too. Isaac-16, plays harmonica and guitar. He joins in with his brothers in a vocal tune now and then. The brother's harmony is sure to please! Aleah, 12, sings and plays fiddle. She’s our sweetest member. The house is not the same ever since she learned to yodel last year! Adam is our baby (don’t tell him though- at 9 he’s quickly approaching manhood). He got excited about fiddling a couple summers ago at music camp and he's been stealing the show ever since with his LITTLE fiddle and his BIG cowboy hat! Dad and Mom back us all up on the guitar and the bass and that makes up the Engell Family Band. Two family members are missing from the band. That’s Andrew and Aimee. Andrew was married to Celeste in September 2008 and lives on down the road. They've blessed us with a precious little nephew/grandson David Andrew the 3rd. You can read more about them at engells-simplegiftsfarm.blogspot.com Aimee married Jonathan Keulen in May 2007. They have 2 little ones now, Justus and Annie Laurie. You can read more about them and their handmade wooden toys at www.handsinwood.etsy.com. Enjoy a variety of good old time music with a great new sound! The Engell Family is all acoustic with upbeat rhythm and wholesome harmonies. Kick up your heels to folk, bluegrass, gospel, western swing and even an occasional celtic tune. Four guys and one yodeling cowgirl plus Mom and Dad backing up on bass and guitar. Positively entertaining for the whole family from the very young to the young at heart! To contact us call (509) 935-6714 or (509) 936-1037 or you can e-mail us at band@engellfamily.com As the great J.S. Bach once said, "The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul” ( We had to throw in at least Something classical)
To God be the glory great things He hath done so loved He the world that He gave us His Son |
