Why hire The South Carolina Broadcasters?

The South Carolina Broadcasters are an old-time trio featuring fiddle, banjo, guitar, and close harmony singing. They specialize in songs of the Carter Family and traditional Appalachian music. They present lively and entertaining shows that showcase their musical ability, from raucous clawhammer numbers, to traditional cajun two-step tunes (sung in French) the Broadcasters never disappoint. The Broadcasters have played extensively along the east coast and have traveled across the country and around most of the world playing music. We play concerts, parties, weddings, dances, public and private events near or far. Contact us to play in your town!

Wedding ReceptionIvy was great to work with when we were coordinating our reception... the day of the event was perfect for our high noon garden reception and my husband and I couldn't have imaginged a better complement than the South Carolina Broadcasters. Their music fit our occassion just right & all of our guests enjoyed the sounds and their performance. Even without amplification (our venue didn't allow it) SC Broadcasters' dreamy sounds of old fashioned bluegrass tunes carried perfectly over the crowd of 200 people. I look forward to working with them again!

Overview

About

We just sound like we sound like.And what they sound like, says Virginia State Folklorist, Jon Lohman, 'is an arresting trio of fine musicians, playing the music they love the only way they know how, resulting in a sound that melds a seasoned artistry with playful exuberance. David, Ivy and Grace’s voices together create a sound that is at once hauntingly ancient yet refreshingly new. There is a sense of immediacy to the Broadcaster’s sound, which can bring old chestnuts to new life, while providing new originals with the patina and soul of the well-worn hills that inspire them.'
