The Lewis Family was a beloved American bluegrass gospel group hailing from Lincolnton, Georgia. Often called "The First Family of Bluegrass Gospel Music," they began performing together in the 1950s and became known for their joyful harmonies, strong faith-based lyrics, and tight-knit family dynamics. Led by patriarch Pop Lewis and featuring several family members across generations, including son Wallace and daughters Miggie and Polly, the group helped popularize gospel-infused bluegrass music throughout the southeastern U.S. and beyond.
With a career spanning five decades, The Lewis Family earned a devoted following thanks to their energetic performances and an impressive catalog of recordings — often blending traditional gospel standards with original compositions. They were regulars on television and radio, and their contributions to gospel and bluegrass were recognized through numerous awards, including induction into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 2006. The group officially retired in 2009, leaving behind a legacy of heartfelt music and family tradition.
