DescendantZ Family Band

The DescendantZ Family Band will provide an excellent clean family program for any concert, event or church. You'll see a normal family doing some extraordinary things. They have been compared to a Branson type show. Tight vocal harmonies, live band, and comedy. You'll hear covers of some familiar songs as well as some original music.

The DescendantZ Family Band is aptly named due to the musical heritage on both sides of their families. Both Dirk and Cheryl, the mom and dad, have generations and many years of experience in the music and entertainment industries. They are now joined by their children, Kelayla age 18, Dirky age 15 and Clara age 12.

Dirk grew up in Los Angeles, California and he has a broad performance resume. He was a lead actor in a national touring stage show and an improvisational comedy troupe; toured in Australia playing trombone and even did a stint singing backup for Barry Manilow. He toured the Western United States with Watchmen Quartet and during the holidays sang bass for a popular caroling company out of Los Angeles.

Cheryl is from Texas and grew up as a vocalist and banjoist with The Singing Bragg Family. She travelled extensively for 17 years throughout the Western United States, Canada, Hawaii and Alaska. Much of her performance was in churches, state fairs, shopping malls, parades and rodeos. Cheryl's musical heritage includes some names you may know. Her grandfather, Doug Bragg and the Western Drifters preformed on notable venues such as The Grand Ol' Opry, The Big D Jamboree and The Louisiana Hay ride. On her mothers side was cousin Jim Reeves most recognized by his hit song, "Welcome to My World."

Then there are the children. Kelayla, the oldest daughter, is a vocalist, pianist and guitarist. Dirky, their son, is a vocalist and drummer. Clara, the youngest is also a vocalist and plays the bass and ukulele.

So in summary a guy from California met a girl from Texas, they made a family who formed a very diverse music show which includes some Gospel, some oldies, some country, some comedy and a whole lot of fun for all generations to enjoy together. We call it The DescendantZ Family Band.

The DescendantZ Family Band travels with their own sound system, a live band, background, and also can provide a small stage for their outdoor performances.
