Love Love Love Jennifer and Michael! They were perfect for my event. Sound was excellent and they were wonderful to work with. I'm so grateful that they came all the way from Nashville for us. I couldn't recommend them more!!!!
A fresh blend of remarkable, inspired instrumentals and Jennifer's sweet, pure voice. "Best of Gigmasters" awards: 2019 - 2012 (8 straight years!) The 4-piece band provides warm, professional sets to keep the energy up with upbeat bluegrass or relax to truly artistic background music.

We were honored to headline concerts and festivals in Minot, ND, Boca Grande, FL, Reading, PA, Blountstown, FL, Lutsen, MN, and even had the opportunity to back Justin Rivers (from “The Voice”) at a show in Bowling Green, KY!
