About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

West End String Band is an Americana/Folk/Bluegrass band formed in 2008. Charlie and Kathy McDaniel, along with Jim Rollins were founding members of the group which has grown in popularity throughout the years. Matt Purinton joined the band on mandolin around 2012, with Brian VanAntwerp rounding out the sound in late 2015 on fiddle. In Sept of 2017, Jim Rollins was killed in a tragic automobile accident, which left the band heartbroken yet determined to continue to put out quality music with a little different vibe. WESB plays locally as a 4 piece band, often bringing in Jared McEntire, to put in the bluegrass feel with his banjo. Charlie and Jared are cousins and have shared the stage in the Western North Carolina Band "Hickory Flat". West End String Band has released 3 CD's, the latest, "All Night Long", featuring the 5 piece sound and feel the band had grown into throughout the years. You can catch WESB at many area music venues throughout the region, as well as Greenville city festivals, corporate events, and select weddings throughout the year. The band enjoys its new feel as a 4-piece band exploring and developing new arrangements and instrumentation. We hope everyone will stay tuned to WESB and come out to a show soon.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on December 1, 2018From Asheville, NC

Nice but didn’t introduce themselves or talk to the crowd ( nor myself). They are very talented, I just wished they would have engaged the crowd more and been more friendly. There was poor communication due to them being late and rushed beforehand and not having time to eat they had to take a break and also stopped early without warning. Poor communication. But I’d still say for the cost they are good- and I’m thankful.

West End String Band:

Very interesting review...we were later than we like to be, but when we arrived, we were greeted by the guy running the video collage on the computer, around 40 people there, and I wasn’t sure who Lora was, but she definitely knew who the band was. We were asked to take a break while everyone watched the presentation on the large screen, and ate during this time. We did stop about 15 mins early because tables were being loudly taken down, and kids were popping balloons, which sounded like 40 cal hand guns going off...the party was over. We played in the background, as most folks ask for during dinner events of this type, sorry we came across as unfriendly but th
