O'Brien Family Band Biography 2006

The O'Brien Family has completed another full year traveling and playing music. Known as the "Family that Entertains Families" they have now performed in over twenty states. Both Kyle (15) and Maura (12) are W.M.A. yodeling champions and fiddlers. Kyle's reputation as a mandolin wizard is quickly spreading. Kyle's frame, too, is quickly growing. . .up. If you haven't seen him for several months or more, get ready!

Maura, known as "the little girl with the big voice," continues to steal shows most nights with her singing, yodeling and occasional rope and magic tricks. Mother, Janette, is now working from behind her "new" 1939 Kay upright bass and Papa Dan has achieved additional honors with his song writing.

Their newest recording, The Official O'Brien Family CD and Board game is now available from their website: www.obrienfamilyband.com and features both Kyle and Maura yodeling, Dan's songwriting, a few special guests, and a one-of-a-kind board game that will delight fans of all ages. Board Game is creating quite a stir when folks get their hands on it.

The O'Brien younguns have always been home schooled ("motor-home schooled" as Kyle calls it) and, in addition to playing and hearing wonderful music coast-to-coast, they have been to countless national parks, state parks, museums, historical sites, presidential libraries, and festivals large and small.

From New York to California and Texas up to Montana the O'Brien Family is truly a band on the move, spending far more nights in their motor home than their stationary home "up the hill" in Evergreen, Colorado.

The O'Brien's were featured on Fox Television's finale episode of Trading Spouses in February 2005 and reran in December 2005. This show was seen by more than nine million people nationwide, and is now being aired internationally as well.
