More about Michael and Jennifer McLain Band
A fresh blend of remarkable, inspired instrumentals and Jennifer's sweet, pure voice.
We love the joyful atmosphere of weddings. The warm, natural sound of acoustic music creates the perfect backdrop for precious moments with loved ones. We hope that guests of all ages will enjoy a fresh approach to wedding music with a blend of acoustic bluegrass and similar music.
While guests are being seated before the ceremony we help create a sense that something special is about the happen. Choose from timeless wedding selections such as the Canon in D, beautiful melodies such as Ashokan Farewell, or instrumental hymns on fiddle, mandolin, and acoustic guitar.
Upbeat songs and instrumentals create a festive tone while friends and relatives celebrate and engage in conversation and the newly-weds make their entrance.
Dinner is the perfect time for clean, smooth music on acoustic guitar, fiddle, and Jennifer’s sweet, pure voice.
We can pick up the pace at the reception with upbeat bluegrass, acoustic swing, bluegrass gospel, and high energy instrumentals featuring Grand Master fiddle champion, Dan Kelly. Later in the evening, guests will enjoy dancing to music from Johnny Cash to the Beatles.
