My family loves music, something that has been passed down through generations of both my husband's family and mine so naturally our kids have picked up the music bug too. And we love to get together to play music. My husband digs the dobro and harmonica, with a little ukelele at times, my son is a major percussionist and vocalist, our middle daughter loves the tamborine and vocals, our youngest daughter is working on the bass and I play guitar, six and 12 string and sing.
Our parish has an annual picnic and sometimes the five of us decide to work on a few songs to share with our fellow community at church. The first time we did it we weren't asked if we had a name, we were just the Simmons Family. But the second year someone in the audience asked for our name and our son came up with, "The Band You're About to Hear." This may be a take off of "That Thing You Do" movie if I remember correctly, but we borrowed it for that day.
Since then it's the only name we can think of, not really agreeing or even discussing anything else. And now our granddaughters have joined us on stage as evidenced by the picture above.
It is just good clean family fun and we just enjoy being together whenever we can to play.
