Family ...
The family tradition of country music started in 1949 with Porter
McDowell, included his son, David who started his own band, Sweet Water
Junction Band in 1979. Passing the music down to his children, In
1995 the family started traveling full
time, eight children, across this nation, the entire immediate McDowell Family, singing
their own brand of
Southern Gospel Music. After coming off the road and taking a rest...in
2002 they made preparations to go back to the band's/family's musical roots,
which were in country and southern music. As long as there is a demand, the Christmas
CD and gospel projects from those days can still be purchased / heard
right
here or you
can find them on
Amazon and also on
CD
Baby
(the gospel & Christmas projects) or

Residing in the border hills of the Carolinas, they accept engagements primarily in North & South
Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. The official name of the group is Sweet Water
Junction Band ... a Family Tradition since 1949. This family band
consists of the two oldest girls
Reshana Marie and Tasha, a dynamic
duo of talent and beauty, along with David (the father), Shaun, Sheldon
and Chase McDowell along with son-in-law Tim McGatha. The
focus of
this band
is to "just be themselves" and do what they do best, which is their country fried
roots!
Their goal
is to deliver to you the best of their talents which God has so graciously
given to them. So really the main change from the old days is
just their variety in music with an assortment of Country and Southern
music for your enjoyment. Although their concerts are primarily

reunions, Corporate functions, etc. Please check back later as
