About

We are a Des Moines area band. We can play any event - from the largest audience to a birthday party in your living room (yep, we've done that). Our resume includes wedding receptions, local pubs, Des Moines Arts Festival events, and small festivals. We specialize in fiddle tunes (old timey style) and 4 part harmony.
