Overview

Looking for fun and upbeat music for a cocktail party, baby shower, wedding, or private event? Want something unique and tasteful that has both kids and adults on their feet? Maybe you're looking for some mellow instrumental folk music, something for the background rather than the dance floor. Maybe you want to hear a fiddle, a guitar, or a banjo. Music is my passion, and I am excited to personally tailor a Fiddling or Folk Band that fits your special event and personal style! I have played countless weddings and private parties in various styles, including Old-Time, Bluegrass, Country, Americana, Folk, Gypsy Jazz, and Cover. My band is eclectic and ready to suit you :-)

Dazzlingly talented, Accommodating, Endearing

I could not have been more fortunate than to have found these two for my event. They were willing to share their immense talent, while accommodating every request, and showing great kindness to me and all my guests. They played and sang during dinner, patiently accompanied my own music students, and even taught and led a contra and square dance in response to my special request. There were a number of musicians in my crowd, and I received rave reviews all around. Their performance is of the finest caliber. Book them while you still can!
