Hire a Progressive Bluegrass Band for Your Private Event
When you hire The Storytellers Band for a private event, you can expect a high-energy, high-quality, rousing, joyous bluegrassy show featuring stellar lead playing and soulful 3- and 4-part harmony singing. You can expect humor and audience participation and interaction from friendly, classy, and witty band members. You can expect that all gentlemanly band members and staff will always conduct themselves with class and poise. The band will deliver a family-friendly show with clean stage banter and dressed professionally and appropriately. From load-in, sound check, stage presence, playing, singing, storytelling, and load-out, this band will exceed your expectations.
For private events like birthdays, retirements and anniversaries, bluegrass music brings people together to celebrate.
And that’s what any event planner is trying to do, right? It’s possible to draw any size crowd, be it 25 people, 250 people, or even 2500 people to a venue. They’ll mill about, eat and drink, and engage with friends. But if you want to cultivate a milieu of celebration, if you want everyone to be in a joyous mood, if you want them to dance, clap and sing along, give them the rhythms and storytelling of a great bluegrassy band.
That’s the magic of bluegrass, and what you can expect from The Storytellers band. They provide great music to create a festive, friendly ambiance. And the name doesn’t come from nowhere. This band tells stories.
It’s in the lyrics of classic bluegrass songs like “Nobody’s Love Is Like Mine,” “Shady Grove,” and “Rolling In My Sweet Baby’s Arms.” It’s in fiddler Tyler Emerson’s virtuosic bowing, plucking, and improvising. It’s when Lance Frantzich combines his bass guitar with soulful vocals, and Scott Diehl’s guitar with heartfelt vocal harmonies, while Steve Stelmach sets the pace with washboards and percussion. It’s in mandolin player Ethan Van Thillo’s joyful mandolin breaks and chops!
A prominent part of the Southern California roots music scene, The Storytellers understand how to read an audience. Because every gathering is different, every party – for an anniversary, a retirement, an intimate birthday gathering, or a larger-scale gala – has different needs. The band has been together for 7 years, playing at festivals, fairs and private events, wherever the rhymes and stories and tunes and rhythms create the spirit of the occasion.
The band is renowned for its ability to connect with an audience using humor, anecdotes and stories, allowing your guests to feel like part of the show. Or, if needed, the band can hang back and create bluegrassy mood music in the background.
As an experienced performing collective, The Storytellers, if needed, can manage the technical details for the event as well. If the venue is already set up with a sound person and equipment, the band can work with them. If you need the audio and lighting functions equipped and run professionally, we have the people who can provide those services.
One thing you don’t need to manage is the joy, color, and sweet simplicity of bluegrass music. Because music from The Storytellers often leads people to dance, we advise you have a dance floor ready!
