Definitely recommend this fun duo

The Fab Folk did such a wonderful job playing music for a birthday party I hosted. Their sound was just what I was looking for & they're both so talented (& not to mention wonderful people!) Would definitely recommend this fun duo for your next party, gathering, etc.

Jake and Melissa were so great!

Jake and Melissa entertained at our Christmas Social and they were wonderful! They sang and played all of the favorite Christmas songs. We had guests from age 20 to 90 and everyone loved Jake and Melissa. I would recommend them to anyone!

Wedding Band

We loved having the FabFolk play at our wedding. They were easy to work with and played just the right songs on our Wedding Day. They were very professional and set a fabulous ambiance for our special day.

The FabFolk absolutely delighted our customers!

We have a family-style restaurant with music in the evening and we had more requests to bring back the FabFolk than any of the many extremely talented performers that we have had!

Fantastic Duo!

The Fab Folk, Jake and Matt, were great! They were very easy to communicate with from the start, responsive to emails, reasonably priced and great musicians! We hosted a small reception and everyone was complimenting the music and thought that an acoustic tribute to the Beatles was the perfect background music. It was hard to not sing along or move around while listening to The Fab Folk! Highly recommended for any type of event!

About

The Fab Folk is Matt Weidauer and Jake Haws. They do folk renditions of songs by the Beatles, featuring vocals, acoustic guitars, mandolin and light percussion. Their sound is influenced by contemporary indie folk artists like Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, The Shins, Wilco and Fleet Foxes. They perform at special event occasions such as weddings and corporate events, as well as at festivals, clubs, restaurants and bars.

Matt and Jake are veterans of the Utah music scene, having performed both as solo artists and as members of Adding Machines, Mr. India and Declaration. Collectively, they have played hundreds of shows including performances at the Sundance Film Festival and opening slots for notable indie rock groups including Menomena, The Appleseed Cast, and 31 Knots. Their music has appeared in the films Scout Camp and Hanging Five. From 2005-2011, Jake also owned and managed Muse Music Cafe, a music venue and recording studio in Provo, where he hosted concerts and produced recordings for hundreds of local artists.

Additional Booking Notes

For sound, we require 7 channels: 2 vocal mics, 2 percussion mics (for cajons), 2 DIs for acoustic guitars, 1 DI for mandolin.
