The Family Sowell Joins Alpha Source Media Group, taking a Bold Step into the Future

Knoxville, TN – The Family Sowell along with Alpha Source Media Group announce an exciting collaboration that will impact the world of acoustic music.

The alliance was announced in Knoxville, TN. Together, The Family Sowell will work with Alpha Source Media Group to identify new opportunities to share their love of music and their message of hope.

“We are so excited to take this step in our music. God has told us to be bold for such a time as this. We look forward to working with Candi Combs at Alpha Source Media Group and seeing what doors might open,” said Jacob Sowell, on behalf of The Family Sowell.

The Family Sowell has begun the final phase for a new project to be released early in 2020. Abigail Sowell stated, “We are holding nothing back!” Ben Isaacs, Grammy nominated artist from The Isaacs, is producing the sophomore project. “Ben inspires excellence which brings out the very best in each of us in the studio,” Abigail continued.

Unique to The Family Sowell is that they are a family of gifted musicians that brings a musical experience with a special blend of tight family vocals.

Today they stand as siblings: Jacob, Joshua, Naomi, Abigail, John-Mark and Justus on stages all over the United States as well as Eastern Europe. These gifted young singers and instrumentalists are a powerhouse that brings much energy and passion to The Family Sowell performance both on and off the stage.

The family is rich with ministry heritage and international service projects. For several years, the band has traveled to Romania and Serbia. The group travels to share their gift of music while teaching children to play the Ukulele.
