THE COLLINS FAMILY CONCERT

Description

This year’s Summer Concerts at the Brasstown Community Center will open up with a new band – The Collins Family – on Saturday May 13th, 2023.

The Collins family is a very musical family who play at local venues and churches. They have also competed in Bluegrass Band Competitions in surrounding states. The kids have been singing and picking their whole life.

Easton is 18, the lead singer and can play any stringed instrument he picks up. Carson is 16, sings lead an harmony, plays mandolin, guitar and a little on piano. Tennon is 14, sings and is learning guitar and piano. Finley is 10, she sings her heart out and is taking fiddle lessons. Mom, Shawna, sings harmony and dad, Ben, while he can play any stringed instrument, usually plays guitar, mandolin, or bass.

Ben is the son of Randall Collins who is part of the Collins Brothers and played a stint with Bill Monroe. Both sides of this family come from a long line of musicians and singers.
