Overview

Our Progressive Bluegrass style will drive deep into your soul as we get the most out of our acoustic instrumentation. Instead of having a lead singer, we use a nonstop orchestration of unconventional vocals while delivering plenty of three and four part harmony singing. The majority of our songs are reinventions of traditional folk songs, favorites you may have grown up with or something new with an added twist.

We also perform as a duo (guitars) and perform classic (Simon & Garfunkel, Beatles, Lovin Spoonful) and contemporary (Wilco, Blitzen Trapper, Shins, Avett Brothers, Caamp, et al) songs.

Book for your next event - you won't regret it

Super friendly, professional, with a full set-up. Everyone was super impressed with the caliber of performance and I was pleasantly surprised as well.
It was the perfect music for my outdoor event.

The best!

The Angry O'Hara's were the best! We loved having them play at our wedding. They made the atmosphere of our wedding so joyful and fun. They played a fiddle song during our ceremony that was so beautiful. Everything they played was fantastic. Highly recommend hiring them!

Hired as: Acoustic Band, Bluegrass Band
