Hot Pickin 57s – Austin, Texas Wedding Bluegrass Band
We will work with you to reflect your style and vision, from the ceremony to the reception. We have an extensive song list and are always open to special requests. We’d be honored to be a part of your wedding. It’s one of our favorite things to do.
How we work a wedding
- Band size. Trio, four-piece or five-piece.
- Sound. We bring our own PA and a sound tech who arrives early to set up. If your venue has a system and an engineer, we work with theirs instead.
- Song list. Bluegrass, classic country and Americana. Let us know if you have specific songs you'd like us to play. See our song list (PDF)
- Volume and style. Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception each ask for something different. Tell us what you have in mind.
- Getting an answer. We reply to inquiries within one business day and put the agreed details in writing.
