Biography

We are the "Cotton Pickin Kids"!

The Cipollari's are a family of 13 who grew up singing and playing bluegrass music. As the saying goes, "Bluegrass is the best music because it sounds the same when the power goes out."

Each child was taught at a young age to play various instruments, whether it be the guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, or harmonica. They would often play for family and social gatherings.

On one occasion, a band competition registrar asked Fabio "Papa" Cipollari what their band's name was. Fabio laughed and said, "We don't have one yet." The registrar replied, "Well get one fast because the competition is about to start" Fabio agreed and said, "Those Cotton Pickin Kids!" And that is how we got our name.

We are so grateful for being born and raised in such a large and loving family, smack dab in the heart of Alabama. You really can't ask for much more than that. We are truly "Cotton Pickin Blessed"!
