Old-Time Music
Many fine musicians are available to play acoustic old-time music in Jackson and Josephine counties. Three to ten musicians (complete with portable sound equipment) can be provided on fairly short notice. Regular play dates as well as special events can be scheduled for larger groups such as retirement homes. We are already "regulars" at many places. The players often wear western dress. A typical group consists of various acoustic instruments including fiddles, guitars, banjos, mandolins, and often a stand-up bass, but no drums. None of our instruments "plug in" to an amplifier. However, microphones for instrument and vocal amplification are used as needed. We provide wholesome, family-oriented entertainment and prefer to perform where alcoholic beverages are not served. |
Our rates are VERY reasonable! We are all volunteer, non-professional musicians, and we strive to keep old-time music vibrant and alive. Many of our musicians compete at fiddle contests in Oregon and also at the annual national fiddle convention in Weiser, Idaho. Many are retired or semi-retired, but our younger performers are also eager participants as their schedules permit. Note that all performance income goes into our general or scholarship fund. A limited number of "pro bono" performances are also given each month. Please call Scott Phillips
for details.
