Special musical guests for the Thursday, Sept. 25 meeting of the Minden Lions Club will be The Cox Family.
Hailing from Cotton Valley in North Webster Parish, The Cox Family continues a trademark sound spanning over 70 years of traditional roots in gospel, bluegrass and country music.
The continued legacy of founding member Willard Cox lives on through his son Sidney Cox and his daughters – Anna, Sara, and Lydia. Sidney’s oldest daughter, Anna, plays bass and entered the band with her father and two aunts in 2016. Later, his two younger daughters, Sara (guitar) and Lydia (mandolin), joined the band in 2020.
Together, The Cox Family has stayed true to the familiar harmonies by adding another generation to the music that audiences from all over the world have enjoyed throughout the years.
The Minden Lions Club meets Thursdays at noon at the American Legion Memorial Home, located at 119 W. Pine St. in downtown Minden.
