Perfect for our backyard wedding!

After listening to a few songs, and visiting with Bradford, we knew he was perfect for our wedding this past September! We booked Bradford and Beth for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dances. They also stayed on and acted as "DJ" for the rest of our reception for a small additional fee, which was an amazing bonus for us. They provided all of the necessary equipment (mics, speakers, etc.), traveled out of state to join us, learned and played our requested songs, and most importantly - sounded AMAZING. They even played back-up to a couple of our friends who wanted to sing for us during the reception! We heard so much positive feedback from our friends and family on how much they enjoyed the band. I am blown away by how reasonably priced they were for how great they are - if you love good music, you will not be disappointed.

About

Bradford Loomis marries grit and melody to dig to the roots of American folklore and speak of the raw reality of the human condition with passion. His stories span several lifetimes of relatable emotions; bitterness & loss, deep longing & regret, enduring hope & love, elation & joy.
Upon learning recently that his father was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease, Bradford starting laying the ground work for this new project. Bravery and the Bell, (releasing March 24th 2017) is about legacy, both the lineage we are born into and that which we pass on. Whether burdened or buoyed by our generational inheritance, this album confronts the drudgery of simply surviving and sounds a call to stand up to the things that stand in the way of us truly passionately pursuing that which we were made to be.

Bradford’s influences include The Civil Wars, the Swell Season, Johnny Cash T-Bone Burnett.

-Bradford, is an award winning performer and songwriter.
-He learns quickly and can play a wide variety of music, perfect for arranging and learning special music for events.
