We hired Jackson and the band for our corporate outing and they sounded amazing! Jackson was very quick to respond and easy to work with in the lead up to the event. Highly recommend to anyone looking for bluegrass/country!
Response from Jackson Grimm & the Bull Moose Party:
Thanks, Matt! Great working with you folks. Let's do it again - hopefully there won't be a monsoon outside next time!
Jackson Grimm and the Bull Moose Party was everything we hoped it would be and more. Jackson was the perfect emcee, the music was wonderful, and the group members could not have been nicer or more accommodating. This is a very professional bluegrass group, and it has my highest recommendation!
Response from Jackson Grimm & the Bull Moose Party:
Thanks James! It was lovely coming down and singing for y'all. And I'm glad we got to play a song together. Hope our paths cross again!
I had Jackson and his band out to play a cider making party at my farm. They really helped cultivate the right atmosphere for my gathering and I can’t recommend working with them enough! The music was great, they were super professional, and fun to work with.
I look forward to working with them again.
Response from Jackson Grimm & the Bull Moose Party:
Thanks so much Jan! Hope to work with y’all again. Also that care was incredible!
Jackson and his band sounded fantastic and were clearly well-rehearsed and there to make sure our guests had a good time. He was incredibly communicative and professional throughout our interactions and is truly a talented musician and performer. Not only did they put on a great show with minimal assistance/input from me and my team, but they also drew a crowd and increased business day-of since they're well known in the area. 10/10 would recommend - I will be booking them again.

Audiences can expect to see engaging and dynamic bluegrass and string band music. Toe tapping to familiar songs, singing along with party classics, and dancing to some upbeat fiddle tunes are all going to occur. We bring joy and energy at a level appropriate for the specific event wherever we go. We are comfortable being the center of attention just as much as we are comfortable curating an ambience of background, easy listening material.
