Feedback
- I will hire this group again. In fact, I will be hiring them in summer for their Americana style music.
Our winery guests danced a bit, stomped some feet and had an overall great time listening to the music. I requested acoustic because of the indoor venue size and was not disappointed with the results. They provided background music for people in the far room while guests who chose to be closer to the music could move into the room in which Fiddlaround played.
The group has a wide repertoire but concentrated on mostly cajun/zydeco style which is exactly what I wanted. -- Jim L, Lodi, CA, 2/25/2012
