Cascade Kids building unique family tradition
BOB WILLIAMS / CHRONICLE ARCHIVE PHOTO. The Cascade Kids perform during the Fourth of July celebration at Holt Park in Creswell. The Cascade Kids are: Charlie Lewis, age 12, Elizabeth, age 15, Annalisa, 10, Joseph, 16, and Hans, 14. The band will play at the Creswell Winter Lights event at the Creswell Community Center on Dec. 9 (6 p.m.). They’re also playing at five assisted-living facilities over the holidays.
CRESWELL – They’re moving on up!
The Cascade Kids are an amazing, one-family band, ranging in age from 10 to 16.
With five siblings currently in the band, they’re getting better so fast it’s almost scary. There are a total of 11 children in the family, including a newborn, John, who was just welcomed into the world during the summer.
Let’s say John and his fellow siblings keep the family tradition going – and continue to represent the ACE School in Cottage Grove – well, that means the Cascade Kids could still be going strong 17 years from now.
“Few things in life give me more happiness than listening to my kids play music,” Joseph Lewis said Saturday night after the band played as part of Grrrlz Rock 2023. One night earlier, they played the national anthem at Matthew Knight Arena before a Ducks game.
