On Friday, May 8, 2015, at 7:00 p.m., Spring Valley Reformed Church, 10960 Spring Valley Road, Fulton, IL, opens its free, outdoor “Summer Nights Drive-In Concert” series with a dynamic trio: 23-year-old triplet sisters–the Red Roots Trio. It was 45 years ago that the area church began their unique style of worship. The concert will be held outdoors with weather permitting. Enjoy the concert from your car or bring lawn chairs. If it rains, enjoy the performance inside the church.
Natalie, Nichole, and Nika Taylor are musicians who share their faith through Country and Christian Gospel music. In 2014 their album “Triplicity” was DOVE nominated Group for Country Album of the Year.
As a trio, the sisters have been performing since they were 13, aided by members of Wade, MS, Baptist Church, where their family worships. When Bill Barton–founder of Home of Grace–asked them to perform once a month at his addiction-recovery facility, the three saw the opportunity as the hand of Providence.
“It was God. He called us to sing for Him, and He laid out the path for us,” said Nicole, who plays banjo, bass, and drums in the group.
Nika and Natalie couldn’t agree more about the spiritual mandate the three have felt since those days six years ago, nor the results that path has led them to in recent years.
After performing at countless churches and festivals throughout the region, the three won a singing contest at the Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Festival in Meridian, MS, on their mother Sherry’s birthday in 2009. That led to an opportunity to perform with their favorite group, The Isaacs.
