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

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!

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
