Winners of the 2012 Missouri State Fair Bluegrass Band Competition

The Sterlings are a family group playing contemporary, traditional, and gospel bluegrass music. We began playing gospel hymns at church together almost a decade ago and sense then have developed our bluegrass style. We are striving for our own unique sound while maintaining some traditional roots to our music. We have new originals in our repertoire along with many bluegrass and country favorites arranged to suit our style.

“If you are looking for a crowd-pleasing band that hasn’t been over exposed, I highly recommend The Sterlings. This family quintet combines skilled instrumentation with beautiful vocals for captivating performances. The Sterlings have a knack for transforming bluegrass classics into their own, while adding a nice sampling of family originals, that leaves fans asking for more. Although their shows are a great mix of material, they take gospel music to a new level.”
