Wonderful evening! Thank you!
I'm Andy -- I play guitar and harmonica and sing; Sara plays mandolin and helps sing. We perform in different bands: 'The Porchdogs' has been playing authentic Louisiana Cajun and zydeco and New Orleans pop (and Pirate Music!) since 1992. 'Mountain Brew' plays folk, bluegrass, classic country, and/or Irish and Celtic music. 'Retro Ramblers' plays 1950s-'80s 'oldies' or Christmas music. 'Pickin & Grinnin' is a children's and family act for parties and Fairs and Festivals. It's two farmers who are outstanding in their field, mixing silly comedy and audience participation with barn-dance music.
Among the many places we've performed: repeat performances or long-term engagements at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando; daily at the Florida State Fair (Tampa) 9 of the past 18 years; South Florida Fair (3 years); multiple days annually (15+ years) at the Iron Horse Saloon in Daytona during Bike Week and Biketoberfest. We've had repeat multi-day performances at Cypress Gardens, Silver Springs, The Villages, and at many, many community events and festivals, weddings, picnics, and house parties.
With our optional battery-powered wireless PA system, we're able to transition from stage act to roaming / mobile grounds act, putting the show and the music where you need it without having to worry about supplying electricity -- great for Fairs and Festivals! Costume can be important in helping set the theme for events. We wear special outfits (when desired) for Mardi Gras, Swamp theme, Country/Western, Farmer, Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Pirate, Irish, and Christmas.
As performers, we love doing what we do. We're easy to work with, we like to help everyone have a good time, and we don't take ourselves very seriously. We're fully equipped with professional sound and lights (as little or as much as needed) and we're very volume-conscious -- we believe your guests shouldn't have to SHOUT in order to speak with each other. Please read our reviews!
