Biography:

  

The Ophoven Family, also known as Two By Four, is a bluegrass gospel band from northern Minnesota. Parents Jerry and Molli play rhythm guitar, Kate (20) plays fiddle and banjo, John (17) plays bass, Aaron (15) plays banjo, dobro, and guitar, and Elizabeth (14) plays mandolin and fiddle.

 

The band has been playing together for 3 years and has played for festivals, concert halls, banquets, fairs, churches, and various other functions across the Midwest. Their new CD "Going Home" (released April 2011) follows their earlier releases "I Want to Be Ready" and "He Keeps Me Singing."

 

The Ophovens have a heart to encourage believers in their walk with the Lord and to present the gospel to those who have not put their trust in Christ as their Saviour. Using their instruments and voices, they harmonize and blend a variety of music including traditional bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and a cappella hymns. From toe-tapping twin fiddling to uplifting gospel music, you will be encouraged, and uplifted as you hear the joyful and meaningful songs they have to share.
