Reviews for Bluegrass Bands in New York
Review by Michael R.
Bedford, New York•Jul 2019•CelebrationHighly recommend! They were so talented, fun, and easy to work with! We had a great time with them!
MAMA JUKE
Review by Tom L.
High Falls, New York•Jun 2019•FundraiserMama Juke played at a special event for my non-profit and they were terrific! Not only is this a group of skilled musicians, they were easy to work with, showed up on time and engaged the crowd with their lively, fun and energetic sets. Their bluegrass inspired sets were exactly what I wanted for this event (they also can play blues, rock and roll and other styles). They mixed it up with both covers and new music. I will definitely hire them again and I recommend them to anyone who loves great music!
