This site covers information and pictures on the The McDowell
Family ...
The family tradition of country music started in 1949 and continues to
this day.
Starting in 1995, and continuing for almost seven years, They traveled full
time, with their eight children, across this nation as the McDowell Family, singing
their own brand of
Southern Gospel Music. After coming off the road and taking a rest...in
2003 they made preparations to go back to the family's musical roots,
which were in country and southern music. As long as there is a demand, the Christmas
CD and gospel projects from those days can still be purchased / heard
right
here.
At
this time, They are accepting engagements primarily in Florida and
Georgia. The official name of the group is Sweet Water
Junction Band ... a Family Tradition since 1949. Their
focus
is to "just be us" and do what they do best, which is their country fried
roots!
Their goal
is to deliver to you the best of their talents which God has so graciously
given to them. So really the main change from the old days is
their
style and variety assortment of Country and Southern
music for your enjoyment. Although their focus is primarily
Festivals & Concerts they still entertain on a more limited basis, for Wedding receptions, Family
reunions, Corporate functions, etc. All of the family lives in,
or very near Rockledge, Florida. Please check back later as
they are
updating their family site to include many photo albums, a family tree,
and information and pictures covering the past years of their singing road
travels. They will also include general family information (and pictures)
on all the children, since they were babies! Dave is presently writing
a book, titled
"The True Story of the McDowell Family
Tradition"
describing the joys, trials, and hardships that the family has
experienced. Included in this book will be some earlier years when
singing and traveling. They will announce here and send an e-mail to
the newsletter members, when that book is available. They are
presently preparing material for two Country/Southern musical
recording project, titled:
Sweet Water Junction
Band
"Sometimes it's Blue"
and
"Around The Bend"
In 2009 they released their first music video titled "Cardboard Box" which 100%
of the
profits
are being donated to Women's Shelters across American which help
displaced women and their children due to domestic violence. Please
