Perfect musicians for a wedding with no amplified sound

We loved the energy and fun Dylan & Sarah brought to our wedding despite the botanic gardens not allowing amplified sound. Our guests were able to mingle, listen, & sing along! They met our requests leading up to the date with flexibility.

Hired as: Acoustic Band

Simply great

Follow the Fox came to play at my parents' 50th anniversary celebration and lifted it into an absolutely memorable night. They arrived on time, their interactions with us made everyone comfortable, and they delivered joy with an intimate performance. Their voices and instruments were right on, their harmonies were sweet and tight. Their song selection and guitar/mandolin arrangements felt familiar and never dragged. They even entertained a few requests.

Follow the Fox delivered a premier experience. Simply great.

Fantastic local live music!

Sarah and Dylan were fantastic! They played a show for our company's party and did a fantastic job. Wonderful song choices for the vibe, beautiful instruments and voice, and an all around good time. Would definitely book again!

Fantastic Duo!

Follow the Fox was absolutely amazing! They learned a new song for my walk down the aisle and while I was so distracted I didn't even hear it everyone else at the wedding said it was even better played than the original artist. My husband and I could not be happier we chose to work with them on our wedding day. Both the ceremony and cocktail hour was extremely well done and all the songs were amazing.
