Welcome to the Ball Sisters Band Website. We are a bluegrass & acoustic group from the hills of East Tennessee. We all live in Rogersville, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The Ball Sisters Band features the award winning musicianship of fiddler Jessica Ball and guitarist/mandolinist Cris Ball.Their father, Randy Ball, plays guitar, while our friend John Skelton on bass rounds out the group. We usually play over fifty over performances each year and have been fortunate to get to play shows in Tennessee, Kentucky,Virginia, and North Carolina. We have played on shows and at festivals featuring The Dan Tyminski Band, Rhonda Vincent, Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley,Blue Highway, John Hartford, Mike Seeger,John Anderson, The Dillards, Doyle Lawson and Ricky Skaggs.

 Jessica has won several fiddle contests, began giving lessons at sixteen, and is now in the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass Program. Jessica has played in several bands within the program, including "The ETSU Pride Band". In January 2005, Jessica was selected to be part of a group of ETSU Bluegrass musicians who toured England and Scotland. Cris won the National Beginner's Flat Top Guitar Championship at Smithville,TN in 1997 and 1998,as well as many other guitar and mandolin contests. In August, 2006, Cris joined Jessica at ETSU and is participating in the Bluegrass Program. Randy is a published songwriter,and was selected for the Songwriter's Showcase at the 2004 IBMA World of Bluegrass. Three of his songs have recently been cut by independent artists. John is also an accomplished mandolin player.

We strive to put a lot of variety into our music, and include Bluegrass, old-time, rock and roll and gospel. Our music includes originals, fiddle tunes,hymns, waltzes and more! You can listen to us on our Soundclick.com mp3 site, and many websites feature our songs as digital downloads.

We would like to play for you, but if you are out of our area, we have several recordings available.Our latest Bluegrass CD,"Old Lonesome Sounds",was released in May 2007 on Project One Records. In April, 2008 we released "Dixie", a CD of Civil War-related songs.  Either live or recorded, we will do our best to provide quality music and family entertainment!
