Overview

The Local Boys are a band that has been waiting for the appellation "Americana", as "Bluegrass" just doesn't cover the material they do. With all members deeply rooted in traditional music, they have a love for the musical styles that influenced and evolved from old time, country, and bluegrass.

Wonderful show

The Local Boys were great! They kept folks entertained with great bluegrass music, both the folks sitting in the amphitheater and the visitors milling around at our other vendors. Would definitely recommend them at festivals and other events.

The Local Boys presented exciting musical entertainment!

The Local Boys performed for our Summer on the Square event to be held on the county courthouse lawn. Due to a steamy stormy evening, we moved the event to our rainsite, The Hiddenite Center's Educational Complex. The Local Boys were flexible, efficient in setup, and ready for performance in spite of a change of original location. The Band engaged with the audience and presented a variety of vocal and instrumentals that appealed to all ages. Our audience was children through senior adult that visibly enjoyed the talent and excitement brought to our stage by The Local Boys! Thank you!

Great band, highly recommend!

We hired The Local Boys to play at our backyard reception/4th of July party and we were thrilled with their performance. They provided great atmosphere and played a range of songs, including several well-known contemporary songs with a bluegrass/Americana twist. Many of our guests commented on how good they were. I would highly recommend The Local Boys for any event!

With additional musicians/instruments available upon request, they can accommodate as a duo act, all the way to a large production band! They have four superb vocalists, who sing lead, as well as harmonies. This gives them an unparalleled ability to find the perfect combination of voices to render any song. The fiddle player is also an accomplished, classical violinist. Perfect for the seating of guests, wedding ceremonies, and more!

The Local Boys have performed at Merlefest the last 18 years running. In addition, they've hosted the Plaza Stage with the late, Grammy award winning, Tut Taylor. They actively participate in the outreach program, sponsored by Merlefest, bringing music to surrounding area schools. Look for them at the festival this year!
