Come for the music. Leave Feeling Like Family.

For nearly two decades, The Garms Family has been doing what few groups can— creating concerts that are highly entertaining and musically excellent, yet leave audiences feeling like family.

The Wisconsin-rooted band is a tight-knit family themselves: David and Kris Garms with their sons and daughters, Ben, Taylor, Leesha, Sam, Jayme, and Caleb. Together they work hard to make Christian music that bridges fans of Southern Gospel, contemporary Christian, bluegrass, and inspirational. Each song is given its own distinct character, due to the family's creatively-arranged vocal and instrument combinations– yet the experience is amazingly seamless. Their acoustic sound blends close to 20 instruments: guitars, piano, drums, violin, banjo, upright bass, accordion, harmonica, cello, dobro, and mandolin. And there's never a dull moment when when the family gets together! Audiences describe the experience as “Branson, but better.”

From well-loved hymns to original songs, their music tells a consistent message: though sin is bad and life is hard, God is always good. People attend The Garms Family’s concerts expecting great music and a fun time. Many walk away with the joy, comfort, and encouragement they didn’t know they needed. The family’s teamwork, tight harmony, and warm personalities are inspirational, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ leaves the impact.

When not on tour in their 45-foot bus “Bertie”, The Garms Family lives in Arkansaw, Wisconsin, renovating a 55,000 square foot retired school into The Gospel Gym, a performing arts center, recording studio, and residence.

“May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Jesus Christ, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15:5-6)
