We are the Roland Zimmerman Family, a musical ministry family group from eastern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We perform gospel music in the bluegrass, old-time country, and folk styles of music. We call our music: "Down Home" gospel music.

Our family consists of: Roland, (dad); Rhoda, (mom); and Ryan, (son). Roland sings and plays guitar, (and sometimes banjo and mandolin), at our performances. Prior to singing with the family, Roland performed solo and played banjo for local bluegrass gospel groups. Roland plays the instruments in our soundtracks, as well as producing and engineering our recordings. Rhoda sings and recites poetry and mans our sales table. Ryan sings, recites scripture, strums a guitar, plays the Q-Chord and kazoo, and he provides rhythmic accompaniment on washboard, tambourine, spoons, paper bag, and sanding blocks. Ryan has been singing with his father since he was 2 years old. His musical interests were noticed when, as an infant, he got into his mother's kettle cabinet, and getting the smallest saucepan, he held it like a banjo, tapping on the copper bottom! (Ryan gets most of the attention from the audiences!)

It is our desire that the saints of God would be strengthened and inspired and that sinners would see their need of repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ through this musical ministry.
