CelebrationReviewed on October 12, 2022From Asheville, NC

The perfect backdrop to our mountaintop wedding!

Review by Pride W.

CelebrationReviewed on May 10, 2017From Asheville, NC

This band is absolute perfection. They "made" our event. The music was at a level few can achieve, and their flawless command of the room was notable. Pitch Perfect in all ways! The musicality and harmonies were fabulous. I can recommend this band with great enthusiasm. Take a look at their credits, and listen to their sound. It cannot be better. I am indebted to Michael and Jennifer, Dan, and Kori for sharing their great talent with us. It is real music, and the best of the best. My thanks! MPW

ConcertReviewed on October 8, 2021From Greensboro, NC

We could not have asked for a better group for our event than the McLains and their band. They were awesome and we will absolutely use them again. I think Jennifer thought I was being funny, but having been a professional musician for a number of years, it was so refreshing to hear a bluegrass band that was always in tune. I recommend them without reservation.
