Getting To Know Us

We are a 7-piece band that loves to perform at retirement communities, assisted living facilities, church picnics, and in general most Christian ministry events.  We have been seen at Heid's Street Music Day as well as other events.

We generally perform for a small donation (anywhere between $200-$600 is common) unless you are outside the Fox Valley which would be the area of Appleton, Neenah, Kaukauna, Kimberly, Menasha, Combined Locks, Little Chute area, Village of Harrison, Sherwood.  We do this as a ministry to share Jesus.  Band Members are all volunteer and funds go to instrument maintenance, sound equipment, supplies, consumables/strings and occasionally a new instrument.


Our instrumentation includes:

  • Mandolin
  • Banjo
  • Guitar
  • Bass
  • Resonator Guitar (aka Dobro)
  • Mountain Dulcimer
  • Harmonica
  • Tin Whistle
  • Various Percussion (washboard, triangle, Güiro, Bodhrán, Toe Tambourine, spoons)
