About Us

Musical performance came early for The Whippersnappers, Emmy, Casey & Avery McGuirt. Each of them began violin lessons when they were in preschool. Today at 12, 13 & 15 years old, classical violin study continues, but each has also branched in other musical directions.  Avery studies bluegrass fiddle, his sisters Casey and Emmy, mandolin, upright bass, and flute.   The girls love to sing tight sister harmony and they enjoy working out their own vocal arrangements to songs the band chooses to learn.   Fifteen-year-old Avery was the recipient of Charlotte’s Community School of the Arts Andrew Bradford scholarship for music study in 2006-2007 and again for 2008-2009. He won the Charlotte Folk Society’s Marilyn Meacham Price scholarship to attend Fiddle Week at the Swannanoa Gathering in the summer of 2006.   He was recently inducted into Tri-M, the high school honor organization for musicians.   All three kids have also competed and brought home ribbons from well-known regional fiddler’s festivals.   Accompanied by their dad David on guitar and vocals, The Whippersnappers are winning fans throughout the region as they perform bluegrass, gospel and folk music on festival stages, in churches and at special events.
