A guide to booking

Hire Bluegrass Bands

Bluegrass is a high-energy acoustic style with deep roots in the Appalachian region of the United States. The genre took shape in the 1940s under bandleaders like Bill Monroe, drawing from old-time string band music, country, blues and gospel. A traditional bluegrass lineup includes acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, mandolin, banjo and dobro, with three- and four-part vocal harmonies sitting at the centre of the sound.

What a Bluegrass Band Brings to Your Event

Most bookings come down to the contrast between background atmosphere and proper barn-burning entertainment. A trio or quartet works well for cocktail hours, garden parties and outdoor weddings, where the acoustic instruments carry without heavy amplification. A full five-piece with banjo and dobro turned up is loud enough to drive a dance floor and pairs naturally with folk bands or americana bands on multi-act bills. Many bluegrass groups also share players and repertoire with country bands, so look for acts that genuinely specialise rather than country bands billing themselves as bluegrass.

Events Suited to Bluegrass

Outdoor and rustic weddings are the most common booking, especially barn venues, vineyards and garden ceremonies. Bluegrass also works well for corporate retreats, milestone birthdays, charity galas with an Americana theme, and any event where the audience appreciates instrumental skill at close quarters. Sets often build from quieter listening pieces during dinner into faster reels, breakdowns and singalong numbers later in the evening.

Pricing

Rates for bluegrass bands typically range from $100 for a duo or trio playing a short set to $1,800+ for a full five-piece booked for a full evening. The average sits at $430. Pricing reflects the number of musicians, performance length, travel distance and whether the act provides its own PA. Acts featuring well-known players or session musicians command higher fees.

We had several special requests (for he's the jolly good fellow), and 5 or 6 songs to be sung by one of our guests with Andy and friend accompanying. They were gracious, accommodating and a hit with all. Several of our guests went so far as to ask for Andy's contact information. I think that says it all.... -Jack S, Lake Park, GA Great show. The crowd enjoyed every minute of the performance. -Hank P, Jacksonville Beach, FL Andy and his wife Sara are easy going and accommodating. We loved their personalities and their music, and our whole party did as well. If I have another backyard party I would have them again! I want to add that they were so nice to let us have an open mic with their equipment. They let our sons play some songs and let our nephew play his sax and gave him some professional coaching along the way. They are true professionals and all this made the night super special. -Chrissy R, Jacksonville Beach, FL They were absolutely perfect!!!! -Jill Z, Tampa, FL Andy Burr and friends were amazing at our Colony Cove Harvest Festival.

We loved that we could preview his songs on his website. He accommodated our special song. It was difficult because people were hadn't seen each other for over 20 years.... everyone was chatty, which is somewhat disrespectful; but no problem. Two outgoing youngsters that wanted to perform and Andy very graciously accommodated --to the delight of the adults. They were very professional, very accommodating, very flexible, very easy to work with, great music. We'd recommend them highly. -Sharon S, Orlando, FL Andy and Sarah are wonderful performers and great people. Our Community enjoyed both their company and their talent.

Unfortunately our crowd was pooped after playing 18 holes and were too tired to dance. -Kelly F, Sarasota, FL A really good group for our Irish Celtic Festival, the sound, equipment and music was very appropriate. Next year we want to try and amplify them louder so they can be heard all the way to the back of the festival field. -Lori B, Bradenton, FL Andy and friend arrived on time.
