THE FAMILY
A multi-generational Southern roots project featuring members of one of Alabama’s deepest musical lineages
The Family brings together multiple generations of acclaimed Muscle Shoals songwriters and performers for a show that evolves from intimate storytelling into a full-band Southern roots performance. With esteemed industry veterans James LeBlanc, Angela Hacker, and Dylan LeBlanc at its core, the project offers both instant credibility and a compelling live arc. In addition, final band member Bay Simpson’s current success on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ only serves to further their reach and to continue to connect with new audiences. With an all-star lineup of musicians and singers and the ability to scale the backing band as needed, The Family is perfect for just about any type of high-quality live performance.

“Their debut album, Delusions of Grandeur, carries the emotional weight of the Shoals lineage while bringing a modern Americana and indie rock perspective into the present. It doesn’t sound like a band trying to recreate the past. It sounds like musicians who understand where they come from and allow those influences to speak naturally. For vinyl listeners, this is the kind of record that rewards slowing down. It has texture. It has space. It feels like an album designed for the experience of listening.”
“In an era dominated by algorithm-friendly singles, Delusions of Grandeur feels refreshingly human. If this debut is any indication, The Family isn’t just an interesting side project for Dylan LeBlanc—it’s one of the most promising new Americana bands to emerge this year.” - Chip Frazier
