The St. John Family Band is devoted to bluegrass music, as is their 2nd annual Rattle the Barn Concert which takes place this Saurday evening, in Roanoke.
Also on the playbill are Fort Wayne's Rosalind & the Way, and The Legendary Trainhoppers, as well as Lateral Blue, coming up to join the show from Nashville.
To learn how and why this genre has captivated the family, WBOI's Julia Meek met with Josh St. John and his daughters, Sophie, age 14, and Halle, age 12, to discuss their motivation for making music, and hosting this "down home" celebration.
