May 25, 2026Outstanding!
Friendly, kind, sounded amazing AND flexible- even putting up with the most ridiculously rainy day. Our guests have seen 13 years worth of different bands at our crawfish boils- and they had nothing but compliments for King Street. Will look to rebook for next year same time same place but with sunny skies. ☀️

King Street Bluegrass was fantastic! We had them play our holiday party and everyone really enjoyed their music. They were also timely and very considerate with setting up and breaking down at the end of the night. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time with King Street performing at a party we hosted. They were virtuosos and so much fun! They will play anything and have a great repertoire of songs! Just perfect.

October 1, 2021THIS IS THE BAND YOU HIRE ---
Tremendous musicians and vocalists who know how to read the room and play exactly what the moment calls for. This band and 2 of the Surf Jaguars made our wedding so special and unique! They had quick responses, were easy to plan with, and have loads of talent. 15/10 recommend.
