Falling Timber is a high-energy family bluegrass band from the mountains of Western North Carolina. Firmly based in traditional bluegrass, but with modern influences, this youthful band charms audiences with their sweet family harmonies and dynamic musicianship. The band consists of Oscar Caudell on guitar and mandolin, Agnes Caudell on fiddle and mandolin, Harvey Caudell on banjo, and Opal Caudell on fiddle, plus parents Scott and Susan Caudell on bass and rhythm guitar. Everyone in the band sings and each draws inspiration from a diverse group of musicians ranging from Ralph Stanley, Hazel Dickens, and John Hartford, to Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings. The band is continually grateful for the opportunity to make music together as a family and to be able to share that music with others. Falling Timber has been featured on WoodSongs Kids and the Appalachia Sessions, was a 2023 Band-in-Residence at Cedar Point amusement park, and performed at the 2023 IBMA World of Bluegrass in Raleigh, NC.
