Malpass Brothers

Traditional Country Music

It was a transformative moment when two young brothers discovered their grandfather Malpass’ LPs collection. Drawn like a moth to a flame, the classic-filled treasure trove from the golden era of traditional country music gathered little dust in the Malpass household. Chris and Taylor studied the brother-harmony bluegrass duos of Jim & Jesse, the Louvin and Wilburn Brothers and bathed in the sounds of Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Charlie Pride, Merle Haggard. It was musical Manna to the boys—there was nothing in the marketplace that fed The Malpass Brothers’ soul more than the music of this bygone era--and they would stay true to it. 

Best known as modern-day troubadours who carry the torch for traditional country music, The Malpass Brothers began singing and playing together professionally at a very young age. Alongside their dad, Chris Malpass Sr., the siblings performed at churches all over the southeast, but they continued to hone their traditional sound by working alongside and amongst the legends.

OPENING ACT

Emma James

Performing from 6:30-7:15PM Out Front of The ROCC (weather permitting)

Emma James is a Texas born and raised singer-songwriter. She has been singing since she was a toddler and frequently put melody to even the most mundane tasks like her elementary math homework. By nine years old, Emma was putting lyrics to melody and entertaining her family. Now, at only 16 years old, she has penned more than 200 original songs. As a multi instrumentalist playing piano, guitar and ukulele, Emma has established herself as a well rounded musician and  a true artist as she continues to hone her craft.

Emma can often be found performing at local Farmer's Markets, Festivals, Art Galleries and various private events. There she shares an engaging mix of classic covers across a variety of genres as well as many of her original songs. However, her favorite place to sing is at her church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.

Emma's sights are set on a career in music as a singer-songwriter in Nashville. She is currently in the midst of writing, composing and recording a multiple song project about a girl's journey towards self discovery.  She knows and loves the power that lyrics and melody have to heal the soul and she desires to share that with the world through her music. Follow along for what is sure to be an exciting journey for Emma James!
