The groups include Nashville’s The Rees Family (“Walking on Sunshine”); New Jersey’s Wanmor (“It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday”); Rancho Santa Margarita, California’s Juat Sibs (“Honeymoon Avenue”); West Palm Beach, Florida’s Juna N Joey (“Beautiful Crazy”); and San Jacinto, California’s The Mitchells (“We Got the Beat”).

Celebrity judges on the series include Grammy Award-winning artist Ciara, YouTube personality David Dobrik, Broadway star Debbie Gibson and singer and television personality Nick Lachey.

America’s Most Musical Family is directed by Julia Knowles.

IPC’s Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Claire Kosloff and showrunner Jeff Boggs serve as executive producers. Ciara also serves as executive producer, alongside Republic Records and Nickelodeon’s Rob Bagshaw and Paul J Medford.
