Beers Family
The Beers Family was a traditional folk music group that performed and recorded between 1958 and 1972. The members of the group were Bob Beers (sometimes billed as "Fiddler" Beers), his wife Evelyne Beers, and their daughter Martha Beers. The group was well known for performing at the Fox Hollow Festival, a folk music festival held on the Beers' farm near Petersburgh, New York every year between 1966 and 1980. [1] The group ended after Bob Beers was killed in an automobile accident in Vermont in 1972. [2]
