Meet Jeff and Sheri Easter’s Children: Family & Kids

Harmony on and off the Stage: The Inspiring Story of Jeff and Sheri Easter’s Children

In the world of Southern Gospel music, few names carry as much warmth, legacy, and-family-centered dedication as Jeff and Sheri Easter. For decades, this multi-Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning couple has enchanted audiences with their heartfelt harmonies. But ask Jeff and Sheri what their greatest production is, and they will undoubtedly point away from the spotlight and toward their children.

Growing up on a tour bus, the Easter children didn’t just inherit a rich musical pedigree spanning multiple generations—they also learned the value of faith, hard work, and close-knit family bonds.

A Legacy Rooted in Music and Family

Jeff Easter (son of the legendary James and Russ Easter of The Easter Brothers) and Sheri Easter (daughter of Maude Eureka Easter) were practically destined to blend the traditions of gospel music. When they married and formed their own group, it wasn’t long before their family expanded to include three children: Madison, Morgan, and Maura.

Rather than separating family life from their career, Jeff and Sheri chose to integrate them entirely, raising their children on the road and welcoming them onto the stage as soon as they were old enough to hold a microphone or an instrument.

Meet the Easter Children

1. Madison Easter

As the oldest of the three siblings, Madison spent the majority of his formative years traveling alongside his parents.

• Behind the Camera and on the Mic: Aside from his musical contributions, Madison developed a keen eye for production. From ages 14 to 20, he worked as a camera operator for the renowned Gaither Homecoming tours.
• Current Life: After touring full-time with his family until the age of 26, Madison transitioned into new creative chapters. He and his wife, Shannon, relocated to Los Angeles, California, where they write music together and are raising their two boys, Miles and Rhythm.

2. Morgan Easter (Smith)

The middle child, Morgan, caught the musical bug early, releasing her first solo album at just five years old and her second at age nine.

• Following in Her Mother’s Footsteps: Morgan officially joined her parents’ touring group as a vocalist when she was 14. Known for her soaring vocals and gift for songwriting, she earned accolades such as the Singing News Fan Award for Horizon Individual and the SGN Scoops Sunrise Award.
• Family Continuity: In a true testament to the tight-knit Southern Gospel community, Morgan married Landan Smith, who began playing drums for Jeff and Sheri as a young boy and toured full-time. The couple welcomed a daughter, Ryman Pauline Smith, continuing the next generation of the Easter-Smith musical lineage.

3. Maura Grace Easter

The youngest of the siblings, Maura, practically grew up in front of the gospel music audience—making her stage debut when she was just 11 days old!

• Artistic Expression: In addition to sharing her family’s incredible vocal talents, Maura has always possessed a deep love for the visual arts and musical theater. She has spent her youth contributing to the family dynamic on the road while cultivating her own creative identity.

The Secret to Their Success

Touring families often face unique pressures, but Jeff and Sheri have frequently credited open communication, mutual respect, and a shared foundation of faith for keeping them grounded. As Morgan once noted, despite the inevitable challenges of living and working together in close quarters, “There’s nobody else I’d rather travel with.”

Today, whether they are writing songs in Los Angeles, performing on stages across the country, or gathering at home for family milestones, Madison, Morgan, and Maura continue to honor their parents’ legacy. They prove that the most enduring harmony isn’t just found in a vocal chord, but in a lifetime of shared love and support.
