November 22, 2023These guys are top-notch musicians and all-around great people. They happened to be home from tour with Sierra Ferrell in time for a celebration event last weekend... it's clear they love what they do, and are truly some of the best in town. The Sentimental Gents are Nashville's hidden secret!

September 1, 2023I hired The Sentimental Gentlemen to play a house concert when they were passing through my area. These guys were amazing. I still have people talking about this show. Their harmonies were extremely tight and each of them were exceptional pickers. They were just great guys, both musically and personally. I would suggest not passing up any chance you have to hire or see them.

September 1, 2023These guys came down on a chilly day in November to play our house concert series, and they really brought the heat! Fabulous pickers, great entertainment, and just all-around good folks too! Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.
