Overview
Entertaining duo with acoustic electric guitar and drums playing a great mix of music (originals, and cover tunes) that everyone will enjoy (not just the kids). Our music that will make you move and groove or chill depending on your mood! We also have a band with a bass player and play lots of festivals, events, private parties, weddings, bars etc. We can play kids' events and non-kids' events alike and keep people entertained by a wide variety of music - reggae, pop, rock, folk, country, blues etc. I also perform solo if you are looking for that instead of a duo or band.

Children’s Music
We were only able to book Bridgette for our events, but she did a fabulous job. The preschool group loved all the songs they got to sing and I heard they really enjoyed getting to use some of her instruments to help make the music!

Our children really enjoyed their program. They had fun grooving to the cool music
Children’s Music
They did a great job performing for our crowd which was smaller than expected. They got into the vibe of our festival and delivered the right music for our audience. I would definitely recommend them to others and use them again in the future. Very nice people too.

Bridgette was professional and wonderful to work with. I shared with her some background on our event and the guests, and she developed a set list of music that was spot on! She had great interaction with guests and even encouraged one of them to get their tambourine and join in the music. But even greater than all these things is her incredible voice! Bridgette has the ability to perform a wide variety of genres from John Denver to Bob Marley to Gloria Gaynor to The Police, all with incredible precision. She was fun, interactive, ensured that all the guests were having fun, and provided a wonderful evening for us! Numerous people commented that Bridgette’s music was the highlight of our 4 day event. I would absolutely have Bridgette play for another event!!
Bridgette provided a 2 hour music set for our Newmar RV rally.
Bridgette was fantastic. Showed up on time and put on a great performance for our 2-3 year old crowd. Would absolutely work with her again!
Acoustic Band, Children’s Music
Bridgette and Dawn gave a wonderful performance at our fall festival! They were professional, on time and ready to go early and really engaged with the families and young children. Would bring back again!
Children’s Music
Bridgette and Dawn made our party! They were great to work with, showed up early, brought all of their own equipment plus rattles for the kids to bop around with, and played beautifully! The entire crowd was mesmerized by their entertaining performance! Great songs for the entire range of the family.
Children’s Music
This a wonderful band to go see or book for your next event. They sound great, they can play a diverse set of cover songs, and they also play their own original music. Their children's music is fantastic and my kids love seeing them perform! We have seen them several times now and each time my kids are up on their feet clapping and singing along. Bridgette and Dawn even hand out maracas and other instruments to the audience so everyone can join in the fun!
There "grown up" music is great too! You can often catch them performing at various pubs/restaurants in and around Annapolis. They have a great energetic vibe, but they also play some mellow tunes...a perfect mix for a fun night out. I highly recommend you catch their next show. My whole family loves them!
I have been taking my daughter to see Bridgette and Dawn play since she was about 1 years old. The joy that I saw in her eyes kept us coming back for more. My daughter is now six and still loves to see them play.
They are wonderful with children. They help them to be participating members of the show by supplying the children with their own instruments. Their music is always up beat which keeps the kids dancing.
I love their diversity. I can take my daughter to a kids night out at a restaurant or the library for her to enjoy their music. I can then go to our local pub/restaurant and jam out to the adult tunes that they play. Go see Bridgette and Dawn. You will not be disappointed.

I've been going with my kids for years to see Bridgette and Dawn play. They do a great job of infusing traditional "kids' songs" with original material all the while encouraging kids to interact with the music. They've also started playing "grown-up" music, too, which is great for those date nights out. I highly recommend checking out this duo!

What to Expect
Here is some feedback we got from a festival: "We have seen Bridgette and Dawn and the whole band at several different events in Annapolis, and we have enjoyed you every time! We are a four generation family, and you are enjoyed from a just turned 3 year old, to an almost 94 year old. Thank you for helping keep music in our lives!"
