FAMILIES joined together in early 2008 in Chicago, as friends Justin Rose, Erica Johnson, and David Shay found themselves telling stories wrapped in simple music. They are folk story tellers, with souls of grass and minds made out of the mountains, weaving personal tales from the Bible. Families is about community, folklore, and the Kingdom.
