Bluegrass Band Atlanta
Bluegrass Band in the Atlanta area
Looking for a Bluegrass Band in the Atlanta area? Hughes Music has provided professional Bluegrass music in the Atlanta area for over 15 years. We’ve played at private corporate events, business dinners, trade shows, and weddings.

Essentially, we do most of the Flatt & Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin, and traditional bluegrass repertoire plus more modern bluegrass.
Fiddle + Banjo Duo (Fiddle Tune)
However, maybe you don’t want JUST bluegrass at your Atlanta event? Maybe half of your attendees have never heard bluegrass and you want something for them as well? No problem. We also do:

We can do a wide variety of repertoire to ensure everyone at your event hears something they like.
We tailor our set list to fit your needs and atmosphere.
Brief Band Bio
Myself on Banjo and/or guitar. I’ve played on the stages of Carnegie Hall, The Grand Ole Opry, and The Ryman Auditorium in my career. I’ve played at weddings and private events all over the Southeastern United states. During that time, performances for a few Hollywood stars, presidential cabinet members, and numerous business trade shows.
It’s my goal to bring the absolute best music to your event, to make sure the atmosphere you envision comes to life.
Upright Bass-Scott Glazer; Scott has performed with artists such as grammy winning guitarists Earl Klugh, Kristian Bush (Sugarland), Scott Henderson, and more.
Violin/Fiddle-Danny Bermel, Chuck Nation, or Jared Lanham on Mandolin
We do have our own sound equipment if needed. I usually suggest some sort of amplification if the attendance is greater than 75. At the same time, we also play fully unplugged as well.
Here is one website you can see our past 5 star reviews:
“Jody and his band are absolute pros! They tailored their performance to perfectly fit our venue. We made a special request for our first song and the guys owned it! It was an incredible night made possible by these guys. We could not have asked for a better performance and all of our guests (of all ages and backgrounds) really loved it.”-Patrick
“Jody Hughes and his band are fantastic. They played at my wedding – ceremony and reception – on April 12th. They showed up on time and were able to role with the punches easily. They sounded terrific and really helped set the mood making my wedding amazing. Jody was also wonderful to work with, he answered any questions I had promptly and they were able to learn a special song I requested. They did a great job and would be a great choice for anyone looking for a band.”-Kathryn
Bluegrass Trio
The bluegrass Trio consists of myself on Banjo/Guitar (and vocals if requested), Upright Bass, and Fiddle (or mandolin). A trio is good for those who are on a bit of a budget; it’s also a good choice if you want a quieter sound (For example, perfect for background music)
RATES
Rates for the bluegrass trio begin at $900.
Exact prices change depending on location, duration of the event, and if there are any special song requests. We are based out of the Marietta and Greater Atlanta areas.
Full Band
If you desire a larger/fuller sound, I can also do a full bluegrass band. This consists of the trio plus an additional guitarist/singer.
RATES
RATES for a four piece bluegrass band begin at $1200
