When Bud and Laine started their young kids in music lessons, they didn't expect to find them on stage other than a recital here and there. Now music is a big part of life for this North Carolina family as Samantha and Zeb have excelled in their individual instruments and entertaining. As the two youngsters began to perform more often as a duo, their music interest turned toward Bluegrass. While Samantha plays fiddle and Zeb the guitar, there seemed to be something missing. So, Bud was surprised by an upright bass on his birthday and it was only a matter of time before he would join them on stage. Now the family enjoys evenings "circled around" the living room working on upcoming performances and simply making music together. The threesome look forward to the time when little brother, Owen, now two years old, will make his musical contribution to the Snyder Family Band.
