The Kramers

Christian family group the Kramers are known for their uplifting gospel and praise & worship music. Active for over 20 years, they gained wider recognition with their debut album, 2016's Revive Us Again. Hailing from Peoria, Illinois, the Kramers originally featured D. Scott Kramer (vocals, guitar, keyboards), wife Rachel West Kramer (vocals), and daughter Maria Kramer (vocals, ukulele, mandolin, piano, guitar). Since the mid-'90s, Scott and Rachel have performed at their church in Illinois, as well as hosted the RiverLife Gospel Music Cruises aboard the Spirit of Peoria riverboat. Rachel has also released several of her own solo albums. The couple were eventually joined by their daughter Maria, and in 2016 they made their recorded debut with Revive Us Again. That same year, Maria married singer/bassist Ben Wolfe, who also joined the group. In 2020, this four-member version of the Kramers released the Wayne Haun-produced The Hope of All Tomorrows on StowTown Records. ~ Matt Collar
