Book this Group!

Wayne and the members of GrassStreet were a pleasure to work with for our wedding ceremony! I am so grateful to find a group as easy to work with as them - and their willingness to learn a couple of songs that were so special to my (now) husband and I! Their overall song selection was fantastic!

GrassStreet is outstanding and their harmonies were spot-on!

GrassStreet is outstanding! Their music was lively and upbeat, and they had everyone tapping their feet and clapping along while engaging the crowd. These musicians are incredibly talented, and their harmonies were spot-on. They played a great mix of classic bluegrass with some newer songs, while mixing in some rock & roll and classic country. If you want to have a great time and listen to some great music, then I highly recommend this band for any event. Thank you, Wayne, for your outstanding communication and thank you GrassStreet for making my dad’s 80th birthday so much fun!

You won’t regret booking this band!

I don’t know where to start! The band arrived on time, set up and started playing as we discussed. They were very engaging and interactive with the crowd, which made the party super fun! The band also kept the volume at a great level so guests could have a conversation and not have trouble hearing each other talk. I would book Grass street again in a heartbeat. Rave reviews from party guests as well. Seriously, exceeded all my expectations!

60th Birthday Bash 4/2/22

Grass Street was an exceptional group to play at my husbands 60th birthday bash. Wayne and the boys were professional and fun! Didn’t want to see it come to an end. I feel we’ve made friends for life with Wayne, Debbie and the Grass Street Band! Would 💯 percent recommend!
