Raising 'em right

Overview

This is a 3-part vocal harmonizing ukulele/guitar trio based in Utah. We are characterized by impressive ukulele/guitar playing, nice hair and handsome harmonies that set the mood for any event. We have experience performing as guest entertainment on cruises, resorts, weddings, music festivals, parties, restaurants, etc. We have a following around Utah as well as online, and have also headlined our own concerts at venues such as Velour in Provo. We've also performed and taught ukulele workshops at various ukulele/folk festivals, including some in Canada, Scotland and Australia! Suitable for just about any event, we're very easy to work with. We'll travel anywhere if expenses are covered.

So much fun!

I definitely recommend The Bird Watchers for you next event. We had booked them for our resident event at our Apartment Community and the residents absolutely loved them! They were so professional, and so talented.

Amazing, talented group

The Naked Waiters arrived early to set up and were gentlemen through and through. They started on time and were fantastic. All of our guests were blown away by how good the music was! My husband and I were so pleased and felt that it was money well spent. We loved the music choices and our guests, ages 3-70, were all entertained. We would highly recommend them for parties, weddings and to any venue that wants create a chill vibe. Great job guys!!!

About

This ukulele trio consists of Andy Nufer, Kim Bjerga and Clark Holmes. These three friends inadvertently became a band a few summers ago when their friend asked them to be his waiters and serve him and his date dinner in their backyard just wearing speedos. The three goofballs took it one step further and just wore aprons and bow-ties...At the end of the meal they decided it would be cute to sing the couple some love songs, so they grabbed some instruments and jammed to few sweet tunes! Unexpectedly, word got out and other people started booking the trio for all their different events! They've now performed at galas, resorts, weddings, corporate events, their own concerts, and even have traveled to different states and countries performing at ukulele festivals and folk festivals.
