Bluegrass Duos

If you need a small bluegrass band for a wedding or corporate event, a duo is a great option. Duos typically consist of guitar and fiddle, but may include banjo or mandolin, as well. If there is a specific type of instrumentation you like, be sure to let us know when submitting your entertainment request.

Typical Fee Range: $750 - 1,500 for professional groups. National touring acts will cost more. Fee range may not include travel. Learn more or get a quote for a duo.

Bluegrass Trios

Smaller bluegrass combos are great where space is limited, where the music is "background", or when you want to go acoustic. The advantage of acoustic is less setup time, less space required, and it gives the band the ability to move around your venue a bit. They could go room to room, move outdoors to indoors, and provide the music wherever the people are gathered.

Typical Fee Range: $1,000 - 2,000 for professional groups. National touring acts will cost more. Fee range may not include travel. Learn more or get a quote for a trio.

Bluegrass Bands

Traditional bluegrass bands typically consist of 4-5 members playing some combination of acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, stand-up bass, fiddle, and/or dobro. If you desire a certain sound - for instance a fiddle - be sure to let your agent know when enquiring about bands. Bands may range in style from very traditional to contemporary, and most provide a healthy dose of classic bluegrass tunes mixed in with their own original compositions.

Typical Fee Range: $1,500 - 3,000 for professional groups. National touring acts will cost more. Fee range may not include travel. Learn more or get a quote for a full band.

Six Great Reasons to Book a Bluegrass Band

The Music is Family-Friendly
With bluegrass, you don't have to worry about questionable song lyrics or inappropriate stage banter. The shows are appealing to all ages - from little children on up to grandparents!
Egos are not a Problem
Bluegrass musicians are some of the nicest folks around. You're not going to find big egos or a long list of demands. Let's face it: musicians don't get into bluegrass to become "rock stars" - they do it because they love the music.
You Can Dance if you Want To
Good bluegrass makes you want to dance (or at the very least you'll find your toes tapping uncontrollably). If you have an event where people want to cut loose, bluegrass makes a great alternative to other types of dance music.
The Musicians are the Best
Part of the magic of bluegrass is the instrumental breaks where the musicians get to shine. Fiery guitar licks, smoking fiddle solos, melodic banjo bursts, and blazing mandolin picking are just some of the joys your ears will experience!
The Setup is Simple
You don't need huge Marshall stacks or a flatbed truck full of equipment to put on a bluegrass show. The simple production makes a bluegrass band an easy fit into any lineup or occasion.
Bluegrass Makes a Great Theme
Beyond festivals, bluegrass music lends a festive theme to most any event. Barbecues, weddings, pig pickin's, company picnics, holiday parties, family reunions, school assemblies, and private parties are just a few events that can benefit from some good bluegrass music. The music is infectious, fun, and lends a joyful atmosphere to any event.
