Blankenship Family
Three Generations of Ozark Worship and Song
The Blankenships lead traditional worship each Sunday at the historic Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Mt. Olive, Arkansas. Beyond the church walls, they share a rich blend of folk, country, and Americana music deeply rooted in the Ozark tradition.
Featuring the vocals and guitar work of David Blankenship and his daughter Annie Osborn, the group is completed by the vibrant fiddle playing of the newest generation, Leanna Osborn, carrying the family’s musical legacy forward.
