The Kuhlmann Sisters
What kind of music do you listen to? Who are your favorite artists?

Kristin: I like all kinds of music, from classical to rock, but most of the time I listen to country. Some of my favs are Vince, Wynonna, and Martina.

   
What’s the best part about performing? Do you have other jobs?

Kathy: My favorite thing about performing is meeting the people in the audience. They have such interesting and heartwarming stories to tell. Some of the people are so courageous: the young woman who has MS, the mother who lost her son in Iraq, or the veteran who fought bravely for our country. Through our music, I hope that we can encourage these wonderful people.

Music is my job. I would hate to waste all those years of music lessons!!

   
What do you do for fun? What’s your favorite pastime?

Julie: One of the things that’s most fun for me is actually performing – what a great job!!! But I love spending time with my family. On Friday afternoons I love crashing Kathy’s house and pretending I don’t have anything to eat at my house and then she’ll invite us over for dinner! She’s a great cook.

   
Can I have permission to use the Kuhlmann Sisters music for a performance of my own?

The Kuhlmann Sisters would love to have you perform their music live and all we would ask is that you would give acknowledgement to us as the authors and original artists. If you would like to record one of our songs, please contact us. If you have purchased the “He & 3” album, the accompaniment trax are already on your cd for you to enjoy by yourself or for use with a Praise and Worship team. If you’d like to reprint or reproduce selections from our kids cds, please contact us.

How can I get a copy of the video “You Are the Ones”?

Please send an email requesting the video as this is not available for purchase in The Store. This is a great salute to all those in uniform and should be shared, especially on Patriotic Holidays and days that honor those who have served – Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day. We’ve used this video for ‘welcome home’ and ‘send off’' events for our troops in the past year. There’s never a dry eye in the hall – a picture can say a thousand words. Sheet music and accompaniment trax for “You Are The Ones” are also available in The Store.

How did you get started in this business?

We grew up on a farm in western Iowa. We started singing around the kitchen sink. We think Mom thought we were the automatic dishwashers! To stop our complaining, she taught us to sing. Three part harmony was a natural part of life and our first songs were those we sung in church on Sunday mornings. We all took piano lessons and played different instruments in band at school, although many times we just sang a cappella. Then Kathy picked up the guitar in college, and off we went singing John Denver and many, many folk songs. We all went to college at Iowa State University. That’s when our first job came up – and the rest is history!! So now we’ve been at it for 17 years – Whew!

How often do you work? Where can I see the Kuhlmann Sisters? How come your schedule is not posted on your site?

Our schedule varies constantly and that’s what’s fun about our job. Nothing is ever the same. During some weeks, we perform everyday (sometimes even twice a day) and other weeks, we will work in the studio singing jingles or working on our own projects. The best part about our job is we are able to care for our families and have a flexible schedule.

Unfortunately, much of our work is private events the public is not able to attend. This is why we don’t list the dates on the web site. However, there are many community festivals and concerts you may be able to attend and for those dates please email us and request events for your area.

How can I book the Kuhlmann Sisters for an event I’m having? What kind of events do you play for?

Please email or call us at the numbers on the Contact page of this site. We’d love to play for your group and will coordinate the dates!

In order to work in this business on a full time basis, we work in many facets of the music industry. We sing for community festivals; inspirational concerts; with symphony orchestras; a cappella; or with guitars, keyboards, mandolin, flutes and other instruments. Our repertoire is extensive. We also write music for conventions and sing many commercials you may hear on TV and radio in the Midwest region.

Are you really sisters?

Yes – we are really sisters. This is the most asked question from our audiences. They say there’s a certain blend only sisters can have – and we’ve been told we’ve got it. After recording, sometimes we can’t even tell who’s singing which part!

We’ve tried to answer many of your questions, but if you need more information, please contact us!
