Overview
Formerly called The Naked Waiters!
A 3-part harmonizing ukulele-focused trio based in Provo, Utah. We are characterized by impressive ukulele/guitar playing, nice hair and handsome harmonies that set the mood for any event. We have experience performing at resorts, weddings, music festivals, parties, restaurants, etc. We have a following around Utah as well as online, and have also headlined our own concerts at venues such as Velour in Provo. We've also performed and taught ukulele workshops at various ukulele/folk festivals, including some in Canada, Scotland and Australia! Suitable for just about any event, we're very easy to work with. We'll travel anywhere if expenses are covered.

Last night I had The Naked Waiters play my company’s holiday party. I did this after having them play an event for me last summer. These guys are the best! The best compliment I can give is... If you hire them- they will make you look very good. :)
They are incredibly easy to work with and as performers they have great stage presence. Their musicianship is top notch and their vocal harmonies are magical. In addition to having the ability to be “front and center” as performers, they also have the ability to play behind conversation at an event. I will be hiring them again for an event next year!

Hope you’re doing well! We had a great time at both your events.
I definitely recommend The Bird Watchers for you next event. We had booked them for our resident event at our Apartment Community and the residents absolutely loved them! They were so professional, and so talented.

The Naked Waiters arrived early to set up and were gentlemen through and through. They started on time and were fantastic. All of our guests were blown away by how good the music was! My husband and I were so pleased and felt that it was money well spent. We loved the music choices and our guests, ages 3-70, were all entertained. We would highly recommend them for parties, weddings and to any venue that wants create a chill vibe. Great job guys!!!

A touching event! I had never really been emotional while performing before this.
The Naked Waiters did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding. They were loved by all our guests, and the variety of music eras in their set list kept everyone engaged. They sounded great and looked great. Would highly recommend for any event looking for a chill acoustic vibe!

I don’t know how I stumbled across this band, but I am so happy that I did! They played at our wedding reception and they were AMAZING. I had people complimenting on them all night. Plus, they are super easy to work with. Great experience!

We had a great time! Everything was smooth and set up for success. The crowd danced along and was among the best we've had at a wedding event.
I went to YouTube and listened to their music prior to booking this band for my wedding. I hired them right away because my husband and I enjoy acoustic/ukulele music. This band set the mood for my wedding at Silverfork Lodge in Brighton Utah. They offered to play any song for my ceremony with time to learn/practice and they did. My wedding was magical, without this group the mood would not have been as happy and bright. We enjoyed their spirit and charm so much. Everyone complimented the band, we were amazed by their energy and talent.
Don't let their name scare you - The Naked Waiters come fully clothed. This acoustic trio put on a fun and engaging performance of high musical quality that left our large audience wanting more. Their three-part harmonies are especially impressive. I highly recommend booking this talented group. They're also pleasant and flexible to work with. Easily 5 out of 5!

We hope to play for the museum again once things pick back up! A fantastic event.
We hired the Naked Waiters a week before an intimate outdoor ceremony. They were so great to work with! Quick at responding, flexible, and professional! They were the first to arrive at the wedding site and were so helpful! The best part? Their music!! Their voices were amazing. I could listen to them everyday! It was my favorite part of the simple and perfect wedding! Thanks Naked Waiters!

The naked waiters were one of the best parts of our wedding. They are so talented and their music takes you away. They were so easy to work with and very professional. Their sound and set were so unique. We still have our guests saying how much they added to our wedding and how talented they are. Everyone wanted to stay and dance the night away with them! I cannot say enough how wonderful they were and I would recommend them to anyone looking for THE PERFECT wedding band. They made our wedding pure bliss!!!

Oh man, these guys are the absolute best! I hired them to play at my wedding and they were helpful, professional, laid back, and fun. Their music was great! Perfect for a wedding. I think everyone enjoyed it because their beautiful harmonies and acustic sound created the perfect atmosphere. They weren't overpowering in my indoor reception but they still were fun enough to get people up and dancing. Seriously, they took my reception to the next level and it was a for a very reasonable price. I would HIGHLY recommend the Naked Waiters for your next classy event.

We loved having the Naked Waiters play at our wedding reception. They brought such a good mood to the place and were so easy to work with. They were willing to learn a couple of songs for us, and did a very excellent job! They have an awesome playlist and we loved being able to trust them to play whatever they wanted. AWESOME GUYS.

About
This ukulele trio consists of Andy Nufer, Kim Bjerga and Clark Holmes. These three friends inadvertently became a band a few summers ago when their friend asked them to be his waiters and serve him and his date dinner in their backyard just wearing speedos. The three goofballs took it one step further and just wore aprons and bow-ties...At the end of the meal they decided it would be cute to sing the couple some love songs, so they grabbed some instruments and jammed to few sweet tunes! Unexpectedly, word got out and other people started booking the trio for all their different events! They've now performed at galas, resorts, weddings, corporate events, their own concerts, and even have traveled to different states and countries performing at ukulele festivals and folk festivals.
