The LeClaires perform at the Celebration Christian Festival in 2017.

Phil and Ellen LaClaire have a passion for acoustic roots music. They have been singing in church since they were children, and both come from extended families which spent many evenings playing traditional ballads, gospel and old-time country music together. When they married over forty-five years ago, they combined their musical interests and eventually formed The LaClaire Family Band that once included Mom LaClaire, daughters Jessica and Sarah and “Uncle Al” Williams.
