Overview

We play a wide variety in the bluegrass genre - traditional, old timey, and newgrass. We also like to find pop songs that work in the bluegrass sound (check out "I Want You to Want Me"). We have reasonable rates, as we're focused on your successful event more than lining our pockets. We look forward to working with you!

About

We are a local Des Moines band. We love to busk (that's playing on the streets of Des Moines with a guitar case collecting coins from those who enjoy what we do. 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 the Iowa State Fair Bud Stage and Anderson Erickson Stage, Des Moines Arts Festival, Dam to Dam 20k race, Des Moines Marathon, and several wineries and breweries (our favorite!).
