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, we traveled full
time, with our eight children, across this nation as the McDowell Family, singing our own brand of
Southern Gospel Music. After coming off the road and taking a rest...in
2003 we made preparations to go back to our 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, we are accepting engagements primarily in Florida and
Georgia. The official name of our group is Sweet Water
Junction Band ... a Family Tradition. Our
focus
is to "just be us" and do what we do best, which is our country fried
roots! Our
goal
is to deliver to you the best of our talents which God has so graciously
given to us. So really the main change from the old days is our
style and variety assortment of Country and Southern
music for your enjoyment. Although our focus is primarily Concerts
& Clubs, we
still entertain on a more limited basis, for Wedding receptions, Family
reunions, Corporate functions, etc. All of the family lives in,
or very near Cocoa, Florida. Please check back later as we are
updating our family site to include many photo albums, a family tree,
and information and pictures covering the past years of our singing road
travels. We 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 our family has
experienced. Included in this book will be some earlier years when
singing and traveling. We will announce here and send an e-mail to the
newsletter members, when that book is available. We are presently
preparing material for our first Country/Southern musical
recording project, titled:
Sweet Water Junction
"Sometimes it's Blue"
