Overview

We are a lively three- or four-piece band based out of Atlanta with five years of experience performing together. We play Americana, bluegrass, and blues tunes injected with the funkiness necessary to get both grandmothers and children up dancing. We also can play a bride down the aisle, as sweet as can be. We are always happy to provide music for weddings and receptions, cocktail hours, corporate events, galas, parties, holiday shindigs, festivals and other special events.

Exceeded Expectations

Sweet Auburn String Band was a wonderful addition to our 'backyard BBQ' corporate event! They had the perfect mix of uplifting and relaxing bluegrass/americana tunes, and our guests raved about their talent! I would definitely book them for another event in the future.

Hired as: Americana Band, Bluegrass Band
