Artist description Uncle Earl is a band that breathes Americana music. Three-part female harmonies, acoustic instruments, and an Appalachian feel make up the group's sound. Uncle Earl began with two singer/songwriters from Dearborn, Michigan who wanted to do a project together. Jo Serrapere and KC Groves are both successful artists in their own right , but they understood the meaning of the phrase "strength in numbers." They rounded up as many of their musical girlfriends as they could and began to record She Went Upstairs. While finishing the recording, they realized that three voices were better than two and invited Tahmineh Gueramy (a guest vocalist on the recording) to join forces with them for live performances. The three of them are now known as Uncle Earl. Their repertoire is based in old-time Appalachian songs - - some old favorites and some long-forgotten ones. Thanks to the motion picture Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?, their style of music has become widely popularized and has received much exposure. Jo, KC, and Tahmineh's voices blend so well that at times you're not sure which gal is singing which part. They move easily from a happy-go-lucky folk song to a fiddle tune to a poignant ballad. Grammy Award winning artist Sally Van Meter produced their new release, She Went Upstairs, featuring an all-female supergroup of musicians including Van Meter, Laurie Lewis, Pooh Stevenson, Tahmineh Gueramy, and Jean Ballhorn. Joining them for live performances is Nashville banjo player Casey Henry and upright bass player Amanda Kowalski.
