My first encounter with these kids was the little doe eyed boy Giovanni singing "If I wanna be famous" and watching all of them maturing before our eyes. Our kid memories are precious.
I read below someone came up with ~ "COTTON PICKIN KIN" and thought that would be a great name! Family name is good but very common. KIN is very similar to your current name but opens up your group for older and younger kids, Dad, cousins, or players of a KIN~dred style, etc. Very good name: "COTTON PICKIN KIN" Yes, I like it!
Maybe you could just keep the CPK acronym and if anyone asks what it stands for you could say: Cotton Pickin Kin, but when we were younger it was Cotton Pickin Kids for a long time.
I echo what several others have said in that I love the name Cotton Pickin' Kids. Getting older doesn't mean you outgrow a name, and you wouldn't be the first band to have a juvenile name that carried forward indefinitely. I'm not a big fan of using your family surname or a derivative thereof as your band name. Yes, it's unique, but that doesn't mean it's easy to remember or spell. It's not "catchy." The best suggestion I've seen so far is "Cotton Pickin' Kin." Not only does it require the simplest, most minor change possible, it also opens up the possibility of extended family members joining your band who might not have the same last name.
We think that you should call your group Cotton Pickin Band. People that have heard of your band before, would still recognize it. God bless! Y'all keep up the good work!
Love your music and the “CottionPickin” fits in your style and reflects what y’all do s well. I side with those who suggested “Cotton Pickin’ Kin”. I’m not good with surnames anyway but the “Cotton Pickin’” part tells me a lot about what you might be doing. Thanks.
Your music will still be great regardless of the band name! And I am VERY GLAD you chose to go with a Gospel Album! Looking forward to sharing it with our youth group at church!
Sounds to me like you’ve already made your minds up, so my two cents doesn’t matter. I’ll keep listening and following no matter what you decide. Roll Tide!
I think it's a great change since your all getting older the music will be great love your music love y'all my grandfather played the fiddle at town picnics
First off your group has inspired me to work on learning banjo at 55. You have a fabulous sound and a long bright future, and I hope our Lord God Blesses each of you. About your name change. Everyone knows and would like you to keep "Cotton Picking" as part of your new name. Hearing your ideas of sticking to your name some how. I thought of "Cotton Picking Cipollaris", or "Cotton Picking Cipollaris and Kin", or even "CPC" / "CPCK". I hope this input helps with your transitions into young adolescent and young adults. Good luck with your decisions and may God continue to Bless you.
Iam know we enjoyed listening to music mine hubby plans on over one a Christmas cd he wonts .for as a Christmas gift. What ever you put out we like your music we like it all.
I LOVE the name "Cotton Pickin' Kids"!!! I wondered about it since Savio is 19, but it still fits because you guys are your parents kids. 😁 If you really want to change it, here are some ideas: 1. CPK 2. Cipollari Pickers 3. Cipollari Pickin' Kin 4. Cipollari Bluegrass Band
I would go along with using your last name, when the time comes that you outgrow being KIDS! Yes, it is surely a wonderful and unique family name! Keep up the wonderful entertaining! God bless, Brother Charles
Cipollari, or The Cipollari's, would work. There is another famous UA-cam family of performers (pop music though) with a similar Itallian last name Cimorelli. Incidently they are also a large Roman Catholic family of 11 siblings. Must be in the water.
Very interesting as you kids mature into adulthood. My suggestion is " Cipollari Blue Grass Band". Some say you name is catchy, but I like it & it brings you back to your roots, where this all started. I think that shows self respect in family matters & pushes forward the respect you have for your elders.
The best idea I've heard is The Cipollari Blue Grass Band. I love your version of I'll Fly Away. If it's on the gospel album I'll buy it yesterday. Keep up the good work guys!
I just thought of 'The Judds', 'The Corrs' and 'The Smiths'....' The Cipollaris' could be good too.... I like 'Cotton Pickin' Kin', though (see below - Franklin Benjamin) as well, as it's a natural progression. Love from the UK XXX
BILLY THE KID, He Was Not A KID, Forever; but, The Name Stuck With Him Until Death.. COTTON PICKIN KIDS IS AWESOME, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE KIDS, AT ❤️ HEART. We Love You, Whatever You Decide.
Your last name Italian Bluegrass would be cool, I will like anything you come up with because I know who it is and you guys are all great , but I am going to need a new signed poster! Remember to enjoy your childhood time goes faster as you get older!
Looking forward to seeing what there will be to vote on. I understand your reason and like the idea of using the family name. “Cotton Pickin Cipollari’s” or “The Cipollari’s” I am sure you will come up a wonderful name. God bless the whole Cipollari family.
Well let me start by saying "I love the Cotton Pickin Kids". But that means you guys individually and together! You have established yourselves with a genre and a following that will continue to listen regardless of a name change. This change could possibly be the largest and most important decision the group ever has to make. Rebranding could launch you to the next level or leave you by the wayside. I understand CPK feeling a need for this change and now is probably the best time if it is to happen. Just don't rush it! You guys already have the "sound" and artistic abilities. With just one song you could easily find yourselves waking up in a new galaxy as the next big hit. You guys are becoming well known in a big market. There are also possibilities of some of you being recruited by some other top bands needing a new member for a tour or to replace one of theirs. A couple of you are already good enough for that to happen. As you make the transition to the next level please continue to remain true to yourselves and don't change who you are. Don't change who we have all come to love. The simplicity and individual personalities are what we are in love with. What ever "YOU" choose as a new band name will be ok for those of us who are already CPK followers. Pray about it. God bless you guys on this as it will be a tough decision. Keep it simple. Keep the Faith. And please keep on Pickin.
As far as Patreon goes how bout people pay you kids to do reaction vids. Where we send you songs and you all sit and watch then react/comment on what you all thought of the song. There are lots of reaction channels on youtube that make a boatload of money. You would have to be open to reacting to various kinds of music. For example maybe one day is a Metallica song the next day is a Huey Lewis and the News song and so on.
hey yawl I was just thinking you all think you could learn to play Orange Blossom express you guys would be awesome playing that song please consider it. Thanks Bryan
"Cecilia and the Harmonics" - "Thérèse's Experience" - "Rosalinda's Odyssey" :)) But "Cotton Pickin Kids" is a winner. You guys are fantastic. Thanks from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. Um grande abraço de um fã do Brasil (Portuguese)
1) First, it was Jefferson Airplane, then Jefferson Starship and then just Starship. And then the original band members reformed and performed under the original name while the other musicians carried on as Starship. 2) I was in a RUSH tribute band in college. We never had an official name, sometimes being Thrush, but mostly "Pope's group." Since we would sell out minutes after it was announced where we would perform, the clubs we performed in would put on the marquee "Private Party Tonight. Sold Out."
I definitely think using your family name is a great idea. I wish y'all the best of luck with the new album. I have no doubt that it's going to be awesome.
I like the idea of the surname and you could drop the kids and add the family name for the C. P. C. I really like the idea of a gospel album. As far as patron goes I won't use it because it takes money from you to give to a multi millionaire. Could you add a donation to your Web shop. God bless you all
I was wondering how much longer you were going to continue calling yourselves “kids” as the older ones graduate high school. Keeping the family name in the band name makes sense. Looking forward to the new CD. You kids (sorry) are awesome!!!
As a few people have suggested, Cotton Pickin Kin works if you insist on changing your name and still rolls off the tongue as does saying the CPK's. However, New Kids on the Block, Kid Rock and other bands with "kid" in the name have done just fine, keep that in mind. You are known as the CPK's!
I tried to purchase the Slemish Mountain Cd but can’t find it. I had previously downloaded the mp3 version, but it won’t play anymore. Any suggestions?
Listen to us on Spotify

I am nearly 60 and still a kid at heart, so I dont agree with your comment your not gonna be kids for always 😉 Never stop being a kid please.
My first encounter with these kids was the little doe eyed boy Giovanni singing "If I wanna be famous" and watching all of them maturing before our eyes. Our kid memories are precious.
A gospel album is exciting! May God be honored and Jesus Christ lifted up!
I like the "Cotton Pickin' Kin" idea. It won't confuse your existing audience because it's so similar but it eliminates your problem.
“Cotton Pickin” would be just great!
the beach boys have been the beach boys for 60 years
Oh that's a good point, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I’m 90, still a kid. Please don’t change!
We love guys !❤❤

Yes, that sounds good.... a natural progression!
I like this name.
I like this!
Don’t have to change much with it either. Just sayin . . .
Cotton Pickin' Bluegrass Band
Love y'all. Your name won't change what you are. You guys are such a blessing.
I'm 64 an I loved it.....everyone should be a kid at heart
Maybe you could just keep the CPK acronym and if anyone asks what it stands for you could say:
Cotton Pickin Kin, but when we were younger it was Cotton Pickin Kids for a long time.

How about "Cotton Pickin Band". Just thinkin out loud.
Keep up the wonderful work y'all do!
I COMPLETELY AGREE 👍🏻
We think that you should call your group Cotton Pickin Band. People that have heard of your band before, would still recognize it. God bless! Y'all keep up the good work!

Stick with your name. Love you guys!
FYI, the New Kids on the Block are now in their 50s.
Your music will still be great regardless of the band name! And I am VERY GLAD you chose to go with a Gospel Album! Looking forward to sharing it with our youth group at church!
Shout out from Summertown!
Maybe the family name would be best, especially since you will probably have younger ones coming up in the ranks!
I love the name Cotton picking kids and think about it your Dad give it to you so really it is a family name and you will always be your parents kids
Sounds to me like you’ve already made your minds up, so my two cents doesn’t matter. I’ll keep listening and following no matter what you decide. Roll Tide!
I like Cotton Pickin Kin, but also Cipoletti Bluegrass Band. You guys have a great sound and vibe!
I think it's a great change since your all getting older the music will be great love your music love y'all my grandfather played the fiddle at town picnics
Don’t worry about the “kids” part it’s shows family
Cotton Pikin' Band !
In my opinion I think "Cotton Pickers" is a good band name. You can use it even all you guys get old.
COTTON PICKIN KIN I like it the best
First off your group has inspired me to work on learning banjo at 55. You have a fabulous sound and a long bright future, and I hope our Lord God Blesses each of you.
About your name change.
Everyone knows and would like you to keep "Cotton Picking" as part of your new name. Hearing your ideas of sticking to your name some how. I thought of "Cotton Picking Cipollaris", or "Cotton Picking Cipollaris and Kin", or even "CPC" / "CPCK".
I hope this input helps with your transitions into young adolescent and young adults. Good luck with your decisions and may God continue to Bless you.
Awesome news and updates! As for name, I like "The Cotton Picken Cipollaris" or "The Cipollaris".
You should make it the family band
Changing your Band Name is cool just keep rockin . You guys are awesome.
Iam know we enjoyed listening to music mine hubby plans on over one a Christmas cd he wonts .for as a Christmas gift. What ever you put out we like your music we like it all.
I think Cipollari is perfect!
I LOVE the name "Cotton Pickin' Kids"!!! I wondered about it since Savio is 19, but it still fits because you guys are your parents kids. 😁
If you really want to change it, here are some ideas:
1. CPK
2. Cipollari Pickers
3. Cipollari Pickin' Kin
4. Cipollari Bluegrass Band
I would go along with using your last name, when the time comes that you outgrow being KIDS! Yes, it is surely a wonderful and unique family name! Keep up the wonderful entertaining! God bless, Brother Charles
'Therese and the rest' ! She's the leader.
I like "Cotton Pickin' Kin," Cotton Pickin' Kith 'n' Kin," and "Cotton Pickin' Bluegrass Band."
Rosalinda and the Heartbreakers. Or just Rosalinda. You know like Madonna.
THE RINGING STRINGS
Let's do a Rebel Yell.. and capture The Grand Ole Opry!
Cotton Pickin Bluegrass Band
at 48 I'm still a kid.
Cipollari, or The Cipollari's, would work. There is another famous UA-cam family of performers (pop music though) with a similar Itallian last name Cimorelli. Incidently they are also a large Roman Catholic family of 11 siblings. Must be in the water.

Some say you name is catchy, but I like it & it brings you back to your roots, where this all started. I think that shows self respect in family matters & pushes forward the respect you have for your elders.
It works. If you guys are comfortable with it, go with it! You guys are great!
First, Cotton Pickin Kids is a unique name and it stands out. I would do some variation of that. Maybe Cotton Pickin Cipollaris! 🤩
I get it, as you have grown into talented musicians you don’t feel like being cute forever. Whatever you are called just keep them tunes coming!
The best idea I've heard is The Cipollari Blue Grass Band. I love your version of I'll Fly Away. If it's on the gospel album I'll buy it yesterday. Keep up the good work guys!
You all seem to like your family name for the band. Follow your heart!❤️
There is power in the blood. Do lord Do lord do you remember me. Rock of ages . Just as I am .
Yeah GospelAlbum! My 6 year old grandson twins, LOVE your music!
I just thought of 'The Judds', 'The Corrs' and 'The Smiths'....' The Cipollaris' could be good too....
I like 'Cotton Pickin' Kin', though (see below - Franklin Benjamin) as well, as it's a natural progression. Love from the UK XXX
I don’t care what you change it to, however, you will always be known as the Cotton Pickin Kids.
“Cotton pickin grown ups”. kidding haha. Hi from Brasil, you guys are awesome!
Yeah I think the family name is good idea for all the reasons you gave in the video.
I think keep the Cotton Pickin "family name"
And I’m looking forward to the next album!!
BILLY THE KID,
He Was Not A KID, Forever; but, The Name Stuck With Him Until Death..
COTTON PICKIN KIDS IS AWESOME, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE KIDS, AT ❤️ HEART.
We Love You, Whatever You Decide.
The Bama Bluegrass Band
I think Cipellari is very good, And Amazing Grace and Hallelujah your version should be on the new album.
When I watch/listen to y'all I think of "Huggin' Joy". 💞
Your last name Italian Bluegrass would be cool, I will like anything you come up with because I know who it is and you guys are all great , but I am going to need a new signed poster! Remember to enjoy your childhood time goes faster as you get older!
Looking forward to seeing what there will be to vote on.
I understand your reason and like the idea of using the family name.
“Cotton Pickin Cipollari’s” or “The Cipollari’s”
I am sure you will come up a wonderful name.
God bless the whole Cipollari family.

I'd pay to watch them react to some of my favorite songs.
hey yawl I was just thinking you all think you could learn to play Orange Blossom express you guys would be awesome playing that song please consider it. Thanks Bryan
You should play “Gospel Ship” on your new album😊
"Cecilia and the Harmonics" - "Thérèse's Experience" - "Rosalinda's Odyssey" :))
But "Cotton Pickin Kids" is a winner.
You guys are fantastic. Thanks from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. Um grande abraço de um fã do Brasil (Portuguese)

I know I’m not the only one who heard the iCarly at the beginning 😂, also love y’all’s content. -Honkey from NC
Be Strong Together! Love ya all, it’s not your name that counts!❤️🎶😎
"COTTON PICKIN KIN" that's my choice. No matter what the band name is, you'll always have wonderful music.
I definitely think using your family name is a great idea. I wish y'all the best of luck with the new album. I have no doubt that it's going to be awesome.
I like either Cipollari as the name or the Cipollari family.
Cotten picking kin works
Leave your group name the way it is ! ROSEALINDA YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND YOUR HAIR AND YOUR name is also beautiful
I
IS ALS0 BEAUTIFUL

It's just a natural progression they want too have a cool name
I like the idea of the surname and you could drop the kids and add the family name for the C. P. C. I really like the idea of a gospel album. As far as patron goes I won't use it because it takes money from you to give to a multi millionaire. Could you add a donation to your Web shop. God bless you all
How about? "The Cipollaris' Bluegrass Orchestra" - cause, ultimately, you collectively are an orchestra!
❤️
The lady in green dress is beautiful 😍 to me cb
Pick something with a southern or bluegrass twist because otherwise it’s hard to tell your genre.
How about Slemish Mountain? Just my humble opinion.
I was wondering how much longer you were going to continue calling yourselves “kids” as the older ones graduate high school.
Keeping the family name in the band name makes sense. Looking forward to the new CD.
You kids (sorry) are awesome!!!
'The Cipollari String Band'
Maybe try a bluegrass version of 'Kum By Ah'
Cotton Picking Blue Grass
As a few people have suggested, Cotton Pickin Kin works if you insist on changing your name and still rolls off the tongue as does saying the CPK's. However, New Kids on the Block, Kid Rock and other bands with "kid" in the name have done just fine, keep that in mind. You are known as the CPK's!
Cipollari Bluegrass Factory.
"The pushrods" new name❤
whatever name you choose make sure you are comfortable with it - whatever name you choose I will still listen to your music :-)
you can always be kids at heart no matter your age.
I would think any name you pick will be great
Cippolari Family Band would be great , hope that is the right spelling . You guys
are really great too .
On the name changing from cotton Pickin kids I think you ought to use your last name and it’s very cool name.
I tried to purchase the Slemish Mountain Cd but can’t find it. I had previously downloaded the mp3 version, but it won’t play anymore. Any suggestions?
