“Strummin & Drummin was the PERFECT addition to my holiday party! They played all the hits but also allowed the guests to still mingle and talk. Very talented musicians and I will hire again! ”
Overview
Plenty of covers...some some you'd expect, some go deep! Some hard, some soft! Some older, some newer!
Bring your favorite radio station to life -- all killer, no filler, by booking Prettier in Person. Featuring perfectly-executed versions of classic rock, 80’s singalong favorites, the grungier side of the 90s, and modern hits from the likes of Jack White and the Foo Fighters, this band is like watching your favorites play during their prime, but with a fraction of the rider demands.

About
Prettier in Person was formed in 2008 through a craigslist ad seeking a bassist. Guitar player and lead vocalist Dave Temple and drummer Sam Bertness were starting a new band and found Tim Davin (Bass, backup vocals), and they have played together ever since. Anchored in Fairfax Virginia, they have played all across the area, from Baltimore to Woodbridge, and are always looking for new places and people to bring their music to.
