Great communication, fair price, fantastic music.
These guys are top-notch musicians and all-around great people. They happened to be home from tour with Sierra Ferrell in time for a celebration event last weekend... it's clear they love what they do, and are truly some of the best in town. The Sentimental Gents are Nashville's hidden secret!
I hired The Sentimental Gentlemen to play a house concert when they were passing through my area. These guys were amazing. I still have people talking about this show. Their harmonies were extremely tight and each of them were exceptional pickers. They were just great guys, both musically and personally. I would suggest not passing up any chance you have to hire or see them.
These guys came down on a chilly day in November to play our house concert series, and they really brought the heat! Fabulous pickers, great entertainment, and just all-around good folks too! Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.
Amazing band of HIGHLY skilled musicians. Perfect singing, and a connected with the audience. They are definitely well-schooled in bluegrass, but modern styles as well and were able to play a diverse set of really great songs.
