The Heard is experienced at engaging and entertaining an audience with a set of familiar tunes and with their original tunes, family-friendly jokes, and bits of music history. Our set has been developed through a busy performance schedule, regular rehearsals, and we use a set list to keep the music going.
The Heard has entertained at fairs, festivals, private events, coffee houses, and on live radio broadcasts in middle and north Georgia. Three of our members are Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame Honorees and everyone in the lineup is a dedicated musician. We always enjoy entertaining with our diverse set of acoustic-based tunes that range through Americana, bluegrass, country, folk, gospel, and original tunes. We can adjust our fee for venues that provide a sound system or we can bring our own.
The Heard can provide a sound system and microphones for our shows or we can adapt to the sound system at a venue. Our fee schedule can be adjusted for venues that provide sound systems and sound engineers. The Heard has sets that range from one 45 minute show to three 45 minute sets.

The set list for The Heard varies with each show. Our tunes range through Americana, bluegrass, country, folk, gospel, and original tunes. We are always rehearsing new material, watching our audiences for their response to our tunes, and adapting our set to increase their enjoyment and engagement with our shows. We have made sets to address the expected content of venues and are happy to discuss this for a show.
Some are: The Skillet Lickers, Del McCroury, Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Rhonda Vincent, Woody Guthrie, The Byrds, traditional bluegrass & folk music, The Grateful Dead, Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen, Louden Wainwright III, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash.
The Heard has often entertained completely acoustic at small venues. We can use a PA system provided by the venue or we have a small, 1 speaker PA or a larger 2 speaker system with stage monitors.
