We are a lively three- or four-piece band based out of Atlanta with five years of experience performing together. We play Americana, bluegrass, and blues tunes injected with the funkiness necessary to get both grandmothers and children up dancing. We also can play a bride down the aisle, as sweet as can be. We are always happy to provide music for weddings and receptions, cocktail hours, corporate events, galas, parties, holiday shindigs, festivals and other special events.
Sweet Auburn String Band was a wonderful addition to our 'backyard BBQ' corporate event! They had the perfect mix of uplifting and relaxing bluegrass/americana tunes, and our guests raved about their talent! I would definitely book them for another event in the future.
Sweet Auburn did a great job performing at a corporate dinner. They were responsive, one time and created a great vide with good music at our event.
Price Range: $400 - $2000
Gig Length: 30 - 240 minutes
Languages: English, French, Spanish
We are professional and are always on time and prepared for any type of event. You can also expect us to engage an audience and provide a fun time full of songs to dance to as well as great harmonies and great musicianship.
Formed in the Fall of 2013, Sweet Auburn String Band brings high-energy soul and funkiness to American roots music in Atlanta and beyond.
We can provide and set up a PA system for events if needed.
