The DePue Brothers Band:

When It's Christmas Time

When the DePue Brothers were growing up in Bowling Green, Ohio, their house was always filled with music, especially during the holiday season.  Each year, their dad, Dr. Wallace DePue, Sr., who was music professor at Bowling Green University, would write a new Christmas carol as his holiday gift.  One, written in 1990, is called "When It's Christmas Time" and is the title of their new CD being released for the 2013 Christmas season.  The brothers -- Wallace Jr., Alex, Jason and Zach -- who are all classically trained violinists and have performed with the most prestigious musical organizations including The Philadelphia Orchestra, are proud to dedicate their CD to their dad.  Continuing their dad's tradition of sharing holiday music with family and friends, the DePue Brothers Band has put their own signature on their dad's carol with Alex's new arrangement and by enriching these holiday classic carols with adistinctive bluegrass, jazz, and classical groove.

This highly acclaimed string ensemble performs around the country playing an eclectic mix of musical genres based on their classical training but bringing in bluegrass, funk, jazz, rock and more. The band include Wallace, Alex, Jason and Zach DePue with percussionist Don Liuzzi, guitarist Mark Cosgrove, bassist Kevin MacConnell and Mike Munford, who was recently named International Bluegrass Association's the 2013 Banjo musician of the year. The brothers' individual musical endeavors continue
