John Kominsky (a SEBA Member who has published in previous Breakdowns) has heard the Headin’ Home Band (headinhomebluegrass.com/) and has been quite impressed!

The Festival features a full, high-power lineup of exceptional Bluegrass-Gospel bands.

The Headin’ Home Band has an impressive list of places they have performed, including the recent IBMA Bluegrass Festival (see the other Article in this Breakdown) Headin’ Home was a finalist and placed 6th this year in the International Bluegrass Band Championship in Nashville.
Here’s what the Band says about themselves:
| Headin’ Home is a family band hailing from Bloomingdale, GA, near Savannah. The group consists of Jon Lindblom, dad, on upright bass and vocals; Marina Lindblom, mom, on fiddle; Luke Lindblom, 25, on dobro and vocals; Libby Lindblom, 23, on guitar and vocals; Lucy Lindblom, 21, on mandolin and vocals; and Timothy Lindblom, 19, on banjo. This seasoned family band is a refreshing burst of youthful energy, red-hot picking, chilling vocal harmonies, an entertaining stage show, and uplifting, faith-based music rooted in the traditional bluegrass sound. Their repertoire is a fascinating fusion of both traditional and original material. Headin’ Home keeps a busy tour schedule, bringing the fire and fun of family bluegrass to stages all over the southeastern United States — including many churches, festivals, pickin’ parlors, and other events. Recent bookings include the IBMA Bluegrass Live Youth Stage, Silver Dollar City Bluegrass & BBQ Festival, Dailey & Vincent’s American Made Music Fest, The Little Roy & Lizzy Music Festival, Withlacoochee Bluegrass Festival, Twin Oaks Bluegrass Festival, Holiday Hills Bluegrass Festival, and Randy Wood’s Pickin Parlor, among others; as well as being the host band for Headin’ Home Fest. In just a little over four years since their first show, Headin’ Home has become a solid, tight-knit, and professional sounding band, bringing the joy of hard-driving family bluegrass with a clean, positive message to audiences far and wide. |
