And then, they were gracious enough to come back later and do a half hour set to help fill some time when there was a scheduling sanfu.

The audience may be seeing four young sisters, ages 15, 17, 19, and 21, but they’re listening to enthusiastic musicians playing energetic bluegrass music while singing beautiful soaring harmonies to audiences of all ages.
These sisters write their own bluegrass gospel music, weaving in influences of some of their favorite bluegrass artists such as Alison Krauss and Union Station, Nickel Creek, Cherryholmes, and Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, yet still allowing their own distinct sound to stand true.
Hitting the stage in 2002, they’ve performed at hundreds of venues all over the west coast for audiences of all ages and sizes.
Besides entertaining for live audiences, The Emmons Sisters have had the privilege of recording their original songs for over 90 episodes of television shows on four different networks shown worldwide. Their original music will also be used as part of the sound track for a feature length movie due to be released in the spring of 2008.
The Emmons Sisters have completed four CDs. The most recent, "Turning Point," was produced by The Emmons Sisters, and recorded at Log Cabin Studios in August 2006. “Possibilities” was recorded in 2004 (recorded at Log Cabin Studios), “God’s Gift” was recorded in 2003 (recorded at Log Cabin Studios) and “In The Springtime,” their debut album, was recorded at Mountain View Productions in 2002.
