Overview

Old time fiddle and banjo music- Pappy Fisher and His Old Time Entertainers hail from the Appalachian region of Knoxville, Tennessee, embracing the spirit of early old-time string bands. Drew Fisher, founder of the group plays clawhammer banjo and sings lead vocals. His love, April Hamilton on the washtub bass, sings harmony. Jesse Tindell saws a mean fiddle and splits his time between vocals and harmony, while Buck Hoffman keeps rhythm on guitar. Sure to make you dance!

FANTASTIC!!!

I can't say enough good things about this band! They are talented, fun, on time and professional. We had a surprise birthday party for my husband's 40th birthday at the Dollywood Dreammore Resort and this band fit the bill PERFECTLY! The guests raved about them and even the Dollywood staff showed strong interest. Thank you so much Pappy! Can't wait to see you again at our next gig!

Excellent bluegrass/jug band! Highly recommend!

Our church loved hosting Pappy Fisher for our Pastor Appreciation Day! They played gospel bluegrass for us to open up our service and then they entertained us during our luncheon with all kinds of fun bluegrass songs! I highly recommend them!
