To some, country music is all about harking back to a simpler age. But Family Reunion is one band that is taking that most American of art forms into the 21st century.

Styling itself as the first ‘virtual’ country band, Family Reunion is made up of six anonymous members from across the country, joining up online to create music that both gives a nod to the genre’s glorious past and looks to carve it a bright future.

The debut album ‘Family Album’ is a testament to how powerful the spirit of collaboration can be. There are influences on this record from as far afield as the Blue Ridge Mountains, Texas, Southern California and country’s very own Mecca: Nashville.

The six-strong group – all of whose members are talented musicians in their own rights – combine the styles they listened to and learnt in their part of the country to make a unique ‘musical gumbo’ as they describe it.

This record has touches of the blues and of rock and of folk music, while still being firmly entrenched in the great, continuing tradition of country. The storytelling is as fresh and relevant as that of the greats such as Johnny Cash or Emmylou Harris, but it is shamelessly modern music at the same time.

And Family Reunion can plough their own furrow, create their own individual style because, being an internet band, they can make music as they want to hear it, without needing to bow to the demands of commercialism.

That sound has already found an audience among country aficionados. The first two singles from the band were awarded platinum and gold awards by analysts at Uplaya, while both hit the top 30 on the European CMA chart.

The worldwide appeal shows the power of the internet in promoting Family Reunion.

But this talented band would be nowhere without the essential element for all great musicians: Good tunes. And that’s what ‘Family Album’ is packed to the gills with.

Check it out now on Amazon, iTunes, and CD Baby.
