The Carlstedt Family Band

Based in St. Cloud MN

✨ We are a band comprised of four siblings out of eight of the Carlstedt family. Our goal is to bring the old music of years ago back to life. Our genres include Old Country, 1940's, Civil War, Folk, Christmas, and more. We are from St. Cloud, Minnesota and will travel to perform.

We have been blessed with being able to play the piano and voice since we were young, and since have moved on too many other instruments which include guitar, bass, fiddle-violin, mandolin, classical guitar, harmonica, and a few others. Since playing these instruments, we thought it would be a great idea to form a band and share the music and our talent with others. Some of our artists include The Statler Brothers, Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers, John Denver, Stephen Foster, the Cories, and many more.

As a premier musical act originating from the St. Cloud region and radiating throughout the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, this exceptional ensemble brings the golden eras of American music back to vibrant life. Comprised of four talented siblings from a musical family of eight, their performances possess a rare, effortless chemistry and a rich, blended vocal harmony that only family can achieve.

The group’s remarkable versatility spans an expansive repertoire of beloved genres, specializing in Old Country, the swing of the 1940s, Civil War-era ballads, traditional Folk, and festive Christmas classics. Drawing inspiration from legendary artists such as The Statler Brothers, Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers, John Denver, Stephen Foster, and The Corries, they craft a musical journey that is both educational and deeply entertaining. From the dust trails of the old American West to the comforting firesides of traditional folk lore, their sets are meticulously curated to evoke powerful memories and create a joyful, foot-tapping atmosphere.

Multi-instrumental virtuosity is at the core of every performance. Blessed with formal training in piano and vocals from an early age, the siblings have expanded their instrumental prowess to include the acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, mandolin, classical guitar, and harmonica. This impressive arsenal allows them to shift seamlessly from a sweeping, elegant piano and vocal ballad to a full-throttle, multi-instrumental folk breakdown. Their sophisticated yet accessible sound adapts beautifully to any event, whether you require a dignified acoustic backdrop for a cocktail hour or a riveting main-stage concert experience.
