The Lovell Sisters, an acoustic music trio steeped in bluegrass and classical elements, will perform on 61传媒’s Bowling Green, Friday, September 25, 5:30-7:00 p.m., as part of the popular Levitt on the Lawn Concert Series. The concert is free and open to the public.
Sisters Jessica, Megan, and Rebecca began their musical career at a young age, performing in local youth symphonies and singing in church choirs. A chance visit to an open-mic bluegrass show in Tennessee sparked their interest in the instrumentation and improvisation of bluegrass music; two years later, the group won the Prairie Home National Teen Talent Competition of 2005.
The Lovell Sisters are currently touring in support of their latest album, “Time to Grow,” which includes two award-winning songs; the title track, “Time To Grow,” is a finalist in the 2008 International Songwriting Competition, and “Distance,” a Grand Prize Winner in the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
