The Bad Raccoons:
A bunch of wild and crazy backyard bandits. Bringing in international, jazz, and brand new flavors into the mix, these young folks are making their own style of music. Fiddle, Guitar/Banjo, and Bass, along with those sweet vocal harmonies keeps the party jumping. Old Time with a twist, Hillbilly Jazz, you could say. You will probably hear a song your grandmother would sing right after a latin be bop banjo piece. Enjoy!
Eversole & The Flame:
Acoustic duet of the Appalachian Order. A medley of guitar, banjo n' fiddle with harmonies for the hills. These two youngsters' love for bluegrass and gospel tradition make for an intimate experience of music, stories, dance, and laughter. This ensemble is notorious for making memories and souls come to life.
Benjamin Jensen Jazz:
A Jazz group made up of jazz source material. These guys are thoroughly trained by some of the best jazz musicians in the country. However, they take that learning and interpret it with a freshness and zeal that is infectious. Traditional jazz or more modern style? Cool relaxing jams or swing dance music? It doesn't matter, these guy do it all. They have that uncanny ability to please not only the die hard jazz aficionados, but also those guests that had previously thought they didn't even like jazz. More musicians can be added as necessary.
As you can see, we offer plenty to choose from. Each one unique, yet each one holding the standards of quality and professionalism that Rivers of Mars Music is known for. It all really depends on you. What type of event are you wanting to have, and what are your personal tastes? Any way you go, you are sure to have an exciting and unforgettable event.

"Thanks to Eversole and the Flame for an awesome event! We hired them to play ceremony music and a cocktail hour for our outdoor wedding in Chapel Hill. We had special requests for ceremony music which they gladly accommodated, they looked great and professional, and they sounded amazing during the cocktail hour, really setting the tone for a fun Southern wedding! I'd highly recommend them."

"Faye and Andrew were terrific. They came in, listened to my direction for all of 5 minutes, then did exactly what I needed, and raised it up a notch. They seemed to have a good time, and that translated into an audience that had an even better time. I would use their talents again any time it was appropriate. They were talented, professional, willing and very easy to work with. They are both nice people as well."
