I truly believe that it is John’s utmost dream to one day play in the band that is fronted by his two little girls. He is getting them started early, and they are loving every minute of it. They were born with the music of these hills in their souls. This is why we love the evenings when Daddy is home. This is the perfect after bath, before bed activity. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Hear John’s music and the legacy that has been with our people for hundreds of years at www.myspace.com/haywoodbanjo or visit his YouTube channel (Renegade Hillbilly) under the links section in my sidebar.

Your daughters are so lucky lucky lucky to have this kind of upbringing. To be in their homeland with the music and lifestyle and to be able to understand where they come from. I’m in love with your after bath ritual. I wish I could play guitar. I would LOVE to do with my family. Thank you so much for sharing your family with us.

I’m already planning on being one of the Haywood Family Band’s biggest fans. What a wonderful way to spend time together!

Oh this makes me so happy to see. I have no musical ability what so ever, but I am trying to introduce my children to the joys that it can bring. I hope that one day they will enjoy playing an instrument

I found this while searching for “The Haywoods Family Band”. My grandma is a Haywood from Floyd County and I remember her talking about the traveling Haywood Family Band. She has an album cover I remember from childhood. I believe they sang gospel.
Its nice to see the tradition carried down!
