Community Country Church to host the Wissman Family in Concert – Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Hailing from the Midwest, the fifteen-member Wissman family have spent the past 11 years delighting audiences nationwide with their delightful blend of gospel bluegrass music. Featuring Loren, Gloria, and their 13 children, each concert is filled with tight vocal harmonies, award winning bluegrass pickin’ and memorable family moments.
Traveling in their 45 foot bus, the Wissman family annually share their musical talents with an average of 200 services each year throughout 35 states, Canada and Mexico. Events have ranged from church services to conferences, conventions, county fairs, retirement parks, Christian schools, and prison ministry. In 2011 they completed their fourth Christmas season performing in Branson, Missouri.
Filling their home with life and laughter, the 13 Wissman children range in age from 28 to 4 years: Rachel, Ruth, Josiah, Bethany, Andrew, Elizabeth, Matthias, Stephen, Hannah, Susanna, Alaythia, Nathaniel, and Charissa. Due to marriage and job responsibilities, three of the older children no longer tour with the family.
Each of the children are an essential part of each concert, singing in harmonies and playing a wide variety of instruments, including: guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, dobro, harmonica, fiddles, hammered dulcimer, cello, flute, and keyboard. The variety and creativity in their musical arrangements will be sure to give you a toe tappin’ good time.
But to the Wissmans, each concert is about more than musical talent. It’s a showcase for their genuine passion to share the hope and promise found in Jesus Christ. The music and message provide a colorful kaleidoscope, reflecting the joy and purpose found in Christ. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to experience these unique elements that make each concert an unforgettable family experience!
The Concert will take place on Tuesday August 7th at 7:00 p.m. Seating is limited, so come early. A free will offering will be taken.
Community Country Church is located on Highway 17 across from Holdingford public school.
