Phil and Ellen LaClaire have a passion for acoustic bluegrass and gospel music. They have been singing in church since they were children and both come from extended families who spent many evenings playing traditional ballads, gospel and old time country music together. When they married thirty-five years ago, they combined their musical interests and eventually formed The LaClaire Family Band that once included Mom LaClaire, daughters Jessica and Sarah and also Uncle Al Williams.

Phil is an accomplished musician vocally and on the guitar and banjo. Ellen lends support with the upright bass, vocal harmonies and an occasional rift on the mandolin. 

The LaClaire Band has produced eight recording projects and do many concerts each year at churches, festivals, homecomings and fairs.
