I am the manager of a big pumpkin patch in half moon bay. We hired this band to play weekends at our farm. The goal was to have a real authentic bluegrass band and they brought the music 💯. Robert the band leader is a great guy and amazing singer, banjo and bass player. This band has a huge catalog of music and they often change up the lineup so we get mandolin, fiddle, pedal steel always and Robert's wife can sing and play upright bass with a real passion for the music. They are so awesome. Alex the guitar player has the leads and rythms down as well.
This band is one of the best. 100 percent recommend them.

The WildCat Mt Ramblers MADE our wedding! First of all, they were awesome to work with logistically - always very available, responsive, professional, committed and fun! They heard and executed all our requests for our big day (which were plentiful) and with such great skill, energy and attitude. Their music was excellent - especially our first dance tune which they NAILED! Our guests loved dancing to the live music too. The WCMR basically facilitated our whole wedding by creating the mood, responding to the crowd, keeping track of time and also doubling as the Master of Ceremonies. I seriously feel so grateful to this crew. Couldn't recommend them more! They are just great people and such talented musicians. We feel very fortunate to have had them play at our wedding! Thank you Robert and the WCMR crew! We <3 U! -Megan and Andrew

This band was awesome to work with from booking to day of. They’re very thoughtful and accommodating, making sure our event was a success. The music set the tone for the event which was filled with so much fun! Our event had a few thousand people there (family friendly) and the band played music that was loved by all and got the kids dancing! Thanks again for a great day!

This is our second time booking The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers for our pediatric therapy center's annual family music party event. They are so natural, fun, and easy-going with requests. The children (and parents) all loved them! We are so excited to have them back again next year!

Thank you for creating such a loving, caring, and accepting environment where even the adults feel comfortable singing, dancing, exploring musically and having fun! We had a great time and look forward to next year.
The band members were ever so nice and the music was fantastic. I couldn’t have hired a better group!

It was a stormy day outside, but the Wildcat Mountain Ramblers definitely brightened things up indoors! They were great.
Acoustic Band
Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you! You put on a lovely event for your members and made them all comfortable. We loved watching people dance while behind them, through the big view windows, we could see the rain blowing sideways.
The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers were a delight to work with from beginning to end. I was planning a very last-minute anniversary surprise party and they were very thoughtful and responsive to my questions. They learned my mom’s favorite song and opened up a little a jam session with my dad. My parents had an amazing time and enjoyed them so much!

So much fun! Robert and Suzanne were a blast. The kids and parents enjoyed their energy, music, and little chats in between songs. Our children are special needs and they did such a great job understanding and adjusting for them to be engaged and have fun! We loved it!
Children’s Music
We hired this band to play for our wedding, and they were incredible! Very professional and friendly, they played for the whole event and never missed a beat. They have a large catalog and they are exceptionally good at reading their audience and tailoring their set accordingly. They took requests from our guests and were so enthusiastic the whole time. They sound amazing and are a delight to work with. 10/10, would highly recommend to anyone who loves bluegrass and folk music!
Bluegrass Band
This is a group of excellent musicians who clearly love what they do. Not only do they play well, but they clearly have so much fun doing it that it is always fun to watch them. We received many compliments from our guests on the quality of the music. Great to work with in every regard.
Bluegrass Band
This band was great, we really enjoyed their music!! I recommend this band for every type of party!!
Bluegrass Band
Thank you Robert and Suzanne for making our party so wonderful! The kids were mesmerized with Robert’s energy and the adults were playing the instruments and calling out song suggestions. Suzanne even came to perform despite a Thanksgiving kitchen injury. We had a memorable double birthday celebration and The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers played a major part
We had lots of fun the kids enjoyed they are great
Children’s Music
I can not say enough wonderful things about the Wildcat Mountain Ramblers!!!! They played our wedding and their performance went above and beyond our expectations! They were so easy to work with and Robert was always very friendly and quick to respond to questions. The band learned songs that we had requested, knew exactly what to play to get the crowd moving, and they even did some open mic time to allow some of our more vocally-inclined guests to sing. They closed the night doing a performance of my husband's and my favorite song, "Magnolia Wind," and brought everyone to tears. It was so beautiful!! I'm originally from Tennessee and come from bluegrass musicians so I was expecting to find something to be critical about, but these guys are the real deal!!!!! They MADE our wedding!! WE LOVE THE WILDCAT MOUNTAIN RAMBLERS!!
Bluegrass Band
This band is awesome, the music is fantastic, I can dance to them all night. The band leader Robert is a great guy, he always makes himself available via email and phone. We had them perform at our wedding in the redwoods, and they were amazing, super upbeat music, our guests love them.
Folk Band, Bluegrass Band
On time. Great music.
People stayed after they finished playing and sat around singing with them playing acoustic!! What fun. I highly recommend them for your next event.

Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you! We had a wonderful time at the fundraiser and met some great people. We really appreciated that people still wanted to dance and sing with us after the amplified music curfew. We were happy to share an acoustic after-hours set with them.
WCMR band members were personable, friendly, prompt and accommodating. They certainly added a special touch that nicely tied into our themed family event.

Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you, Alex. It was fun to be at a pack meeting again!
The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers were amazing. Not only were the super entertaining, they brought extra instruments for people to join in and even offered to play along with folks karaoke style. Our party was extra special because of them. Would definitely hire again.

Robert and his partner are accomplished musicians, wonderful entertainers and were a delight to all ages in the audience. They were the perfect duo for our party of 2 to 70 year old's. The weather forced us inside, and not even the large tent we'd arranged worked, but they rolled with it and managed to pull off a great show in a tiny, overcrowded living room. We love them to death, and will be forever thankful for making everything work!
Banjo Player, Children’s Music, Folk Band, Folk Singer, Holiday Entertainment
This is our second year hiring the Wildcat Mountain Ramblers, and just like last year, they did not disappoint! They are a super fun band, prompt, and flexible with the plan. They sang kids songs for us and did a fantastic rendition of happy birthday for the barn owner. I’d highly recommend them!
Children’s Music, Bluegrass Band
Robert was wonderful. He took the time before the event to prepare and it was more than we hoped for. He wrote a song with info we Provided. And played it with talent He was on time. I would recommend him highly

Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you. We had a great time with you and your residents. That is the nicest "apartment complex" I have ever seen. Everything was first class and it had a real community feel. We would love to come back for another party!
I hired Robert to sing a song for my wife and I while we were having dinner, he did a wonderful job and I would hire him again
Singing Telegram
Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you, Charles. It was a beautiful moment, especially the way your wife looked at you and you both held hands. I feel lucky to have witnessed it. Please let me know if you want me to learn any other songs. It would be fun to stage a lunch or dinner in the woods, at the park, or on the beach where a duo or trio was staged with instruments to serenade you both. I can do that!
Robert sang lots of songs for kids. Parents and kids enjoyed his songs and singing very much. Some of the parents came to me and expressed their appreciation. Thanks Robert for a job well done

Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you, Anne. The kids were wonderful and we really enjoyed the dance floor in the barn and all the dancers. I hope we get to play for your group again. It would be fun to bring some instruments that the kids good mess around with (like an instrument petting zoo) and let them explore musically.
I couldn't have been happier with The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers. My party guests and I really enjoyed their music. I highly recommend them.
Bluegrass Band
Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you, Joe! We had a great time and appreciated your hospitality.
These guys were above and beyond what I dreamed. They learned a song for us and played it so perfectly, their harmonies were so beautiful. They were extremely responsive leading up to the big day, friendly and great to work with. Thanks again, I highly recommend you have them at your event!!
Party Band, Bluegrass Band
Response from The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers:
Thank you for including us in your special day, we were honored to share it with you. We will include that song in future performences and whenever we play it we will remember how beautiful you are and what a joyful gathering it was.
I booked the WMR for a wedding in a family-owned San Martin winery. I chose them because I believed they would be able to demonstrate to our international guests a range of lively American music outside of pop/rock, and they delivered. They were busy in the limited time we had before the event, so we could not tune the set list that much, but they delivered admirably within broad parameters (lively for the cocktail, and mellow for dinner).
The manager demonstrated cultural sensitivity during our initial conversation about lyrical subjects to avoid. I'd book them again.
Americana Band, Bluegrass Band
This band was amazing. They played the songs we requested perfectly. Very sociable and kind people. They had so much in common with my guest that they were able to walk around and socialize with everyone. I am so glad they were available to play at my event. And price was perfect. I will definitely Hire them again for my next big event.
Bluegrass Band
We thoroughly enjoyed having The Wildcat Mountain Ramblers at our event. They kept the crowd entertained and lively. I would highly recommend them for any event you have. They are very flexible and very professional. We will definitely be using them again in the future!!!
