The Ransom Notes

The Ransom Notes

Homeschooled siblings Amanda, Michael, and Amelia Ransom form The Ransom Notes—a group of talented young musicians from the Denver area that blend classical, Celtic, bluegrass, and gospel music in a way like no other. This professionally trained group of young adults first began playing together over a decade ago, and recently added the excitement of bluegrass music to their repertoire. At 22, Amanda plays violin/fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and provides vocals for the group. Michael is 18 and primarily plays the cello (an instrument unique to the world of bluegrass music), as well as a little mandolin, and also adds his fair share of vocals to each performance. The youngest member of the trio, 16 year old Amelia, plays violin/fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and a host of other instruments.
