The Chapmans

Visit their web site.

This young family band, originally from Colorado and now hailing from Missouri have arrived on the national bluegrass scene. In 1998, they won the International Bluegrass Band Championship held by SPBGMA, and Notes from Home, their first album released by Pinecastle, landed in the top 5 of Bluegrass Unlimited's radio chart. John is a three-time winner of SPBGMA's prestigious "Guitar Player of the Year" award, and the band was named "Emerging Artist of the Year" by IBMA voters in 2001 (voters are made up of industry professionals: singers, songwriters, radio programmers and journalists.) They've traveled from Maine to Texas and even Europe.
