Grandpa's Neighbors is a mother-daughter group that base out of Bennington, OK.The girls play guitar, bass, mandolin, autoharp and fiddle and sing a wonderful style of country gospel music to which you would be hard pressed to find an equal.
Grandpa's Neighbors sings in a style reminiscent of the country churches that were the backbone of every community in rural America.
Their truth-filled messages always point back to Jesus, the source of their strength. The inspiring, moving and often witty lyrics encourage both the mind and the soul. Their tight harmony is sweet and simple, not taking away from the message of the song and blessing anyone who appreciates music.
They have already produced four projects titled "Use What You've Got" and "Assurance", which are available on CD or cassette, and "I've Gotta Cross Over" is available on CD. We are happy to announce that we now have a new CD, "Foundation of Faith". : )

Hello Friends,
Thank you for your interest in "Grandpa’s Neighbors!" Great Grandpa used to say, "Pull ye up a chair and sit down by it!" or to the little ones he’d say, "Sit down on yer fist and lean back on yer thumb!" Though neither sounds very comfortable, both comments opened the door to many a pleasant visit as enjoyable as sipping a cool glass of well water on a hot summer day.
Perhaps you’d like to find a nice comfortable chair and rest for a moment while we introduce you to the family ministry of "Grandpa’s Neighbors".
We appreciate the privilege of being able to stand together as a family in witness for our God and His perfect provision for His people. We are simple, honest, country folk striving to honor God in all that we do.
We have been told that listening to us sing is like reading the King James Bible. We count that as a very high complement, for we desire to sing, and to write, songs in which the pure and simple truths of God’s word reach the heart of all who listen, whether they are seated in the opry house or on a church pew.
We savor the smell of fresh turned soil, new hay and homemade bread, the feel of a gentle country breeze, and the sweet mellow tones of acoustic instruments and soft rain on our tin roof.
We sing in a style that is a pleasant mix of country, bluegrass and traditional gospel. We have many, many songs, some original to our group. We never repeat a show or service exactly for we set each line up of songs according to God’s leading for each specific audience or congregation.
We are an all girl band with all girl vocals but we never go to any performance without Dad or at least one of our Grandpa’s. They love us and take care of us very well and we appreciate the covering of protection God has placed us under.
We recognize the seriousness of the ministry God has placed us in and we know the peace that comes while walking through the hardest places in the perfect will of God. There is joy in serving God, even in the midst of trials!
We would not even have the breath of life if it weren’t for the grace and mercy of God. We hope that when we meet you in person, you see Him in us. It is our desire to be instruments in God’s hands. We go where God leads, striving daily to walk in His perfect will. We marvel at the things God has done in our lives for we truly are simple country folk trying to live for God in an ungodly world.
We really are Grandpa’s neighbors! He lives right across the road from us and has introduced us at local singings for as long as we can remember by saying, "For those of you who don’t know who this next group is, this here’s my neighbors!"
Some of our fondest memories of Great Grandpa are of him preaching and singing praises to God with all his heart. The foundation of our ministry was lain generations ago by humble men willing to do whatever God called them to do. They were farmers, fathers, husbands, but first they were servants of God. What a heritage we have! We humbly follow their example.
We are looking forward to meeting you in person. We pray for God’s perfect will as you make your decision as to when that may be.
In closing, we say, as Great Grandpa used to say as we gathered our things to leave, "Ya’ll take care now! And, pray for us every chance you get!"
To God Be All Glory!
Grandpa’s Neighbors

Here's a very good quote we found....
"I repent of ever having recorded one single song, and ever having performed one concert, if my music, and more importantly, my life has not provoked you into Godly jealousy or to sell out more completely to Jesus!" — Keith Green
Lord, let our whole life and song bring Glory and Honor to Your name!!
