Overview

We play a variety of genres of acoustic music such as gypsy jazz a la Django Reinhardt, bluegrass a la Bill Monroe, blues a la Doc Watson and folk a la Woody Guthrie. We can play music that is classy and/or dancable and are fun for kids and adults to listen to. The musicians in the group are all trained and of a high calibre. We can play quietly or fill up a big space. Our setup is quick and our footprint is small. We can travel as well and our rates are reasonable.

Better than expected! Very Talented Duo

We booked them last minute for a backyard firepit. They communicated well and were right on time. These guys are no joke. Not only are they supper cool people they are very talented. Playing and singing a few you know and some they wrote. It was overall an amazing experience. I will definitely have them out again and again. WELL WORTH THE $$$!!!!

What to Expect

We offer music for many different types of events. We can play soft music for a classy dinner crowd, louder high energy music for a dance crowd, instrumental or vocal music, music that is kid or adult friendly, and we can play music that fits outside on a beautiful sunny day or music for a low lit hall.

Our instrumentation is interesting on the eyes as well as on the ears. The violin is loved by many. The upright bass always draws attention. Everyone loves to watch a drummer and the resonator guitar is a rare instrument.

We can play music from many different genres. We play swing gypsy jazz, bluegrass, blues and folk music. We have a large song list so we can play for many hours. We also have a strong selection of original tunes from many different genres.

About

Down Home Music was brought together by the members shared love of acoustic music and improvisation.

They believe in being practical and portable and are comfortable playing anywhere from festivals to large venues to restaurants to busking on the street with equal passion and joy.

Additional Booking Notes

We are very easy as far as our technical needs goes. We have our own sound equipment for rooms up to 500 people. All we need is a power outlet.
