KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The award-winning bluegrass gospel band “Southern Raised” will be featured in a special performance at Kelseyville Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, March 18.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 6:30 p.m. at the church, located at 5340 Third St.

Southern Raised – composed of a quartet of siblings currently living in Missouri – is on a tour of the West Coast. A group of community members worked to bring the band to Lake County for the performance.

There will be no fee for admission, although an offering will be taken.

Band members include Lindsay Reith on upright bass, Sarah Reith on Banjo, Emily Grace Reith on fiddle and mandolin, and Matthew Reith on guitar.

Originally trained in classical music, the Reiths have morphed into a bluegrass sound that reviewers say recalls Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent.

Their latest album, their sixth, is titled “Make A Difference,” and includes original songs.
