The Pine Needles
Overview
Enchanting and exciting, this acoustic band draws on folk, jazz, world, rock, pop, and jam band sounds when creating their original songs. They also enjoy interpreting a diverse array of classics. The Pine Needles signature soundscape is enjoyed at festivals, theaters, wineries, parties & weddings.
The Pine Needles can provide a PA System and run their own sound on smaller, regional events. Events requiring long distances and air travel, such as destination weddings, will require additional arrangements.
The band is flexible and can adjust to handle the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance party!

August 15, 2019Perfect band for a pedal-powered barn party in the Redwoods!
We had our wedding celebration in the hills east of Santa Rosa and these guys rocked it out! Showed up early, learned a new song for us (John Prine - In Spite of Ourselves), willing to play in an off-the-grid historic barn, worked through technical difficulties, put on a GREAT show, fun and friendly, got tons of compliments!

June 25, 2019Personable band with great jamming tunes!
The Pine Needles traveled a long way for our wedding, they were timely and delivered. Nice mix of danceable tunes in the genre of bluegrass and the Dead as requested. Good jamming going on as well. Very personable professional folks. We would recommend them to anyone.

April 29, 2019Great Musicianship
The Pine Needles are excellent musicians - polished, secure, and musical. Not too loud nor too soft. Fun, frolicky music from Appalachia. People started humming and dancing spontaneously. We will definitely ask to come back.

The Pine Needles played our wedding last summer. They were wonderful. They accommodated several musical requests we made ahead of time, and were able to get the multi-generational audience up and dancing to a wide range of Americana string sounds that may not have been familiar to the entire crowd, but kept everyone smiling and tapping their feet. The Pine Needles are not the "average" wedding/event band, and are perfect for those who want a band with a broad but distinct repertoire and a mellow acoustic sound that is not afraid to take chances and rock a bit too. They were a huge hit with our guests and we enjoyed every note.
