Great band

They were great and when the rain moved the event inside they were flexible and came inside to play acoustic for the last 45 minutes. Three very talented guys who are capable of playing multiple instruments and different styles

Hired as: Bluegrass Band

What to expect

Expect blazing fiddle and guitar solos and heartfelt harmonies, classic bluegrass and oldtime or modern takes on motown, jazz & r&b - all on acoustic instruments. Silas draws from his upbringing with a fiddling father, immersed in traditional music but always pushes the envelope.
Dancing energy? We gotcha.
Intimate house concert energy? We gotcha too.
Professional & flexible cast of characters - Silas brings a group of stellar young VT musicians with him to make sure your event has the vibe it needs.
