Fancy and the Gentlemen brings an eclectic mix of honky tonk, blues, southern gothic, rock, and classical roots to this americana band. Sensitive and rich harmonies weave through the tapestry of original compositions and carefully curated covers that celebrate the roots of American southern music. The crew enjoy performing as a full groove-infused band, while staying true to the core artistry that is the songwriting trio.
For over two decades The Walker Family Band has delighted audiences throughout the Southeast with a distinctive take on traditional styles, performing Irish dance music and American Old Time music with a forward reaching attitude. We especially enjoy sharing original tunes, which grow naturally from these basic roots and from our thorough training and experience in classical music and jazz. On stage The Walker Family Band creates a confluence of sound with an end game plan, a fresh connection with each audience.
The J Creek Cloggers are not just performers; they are educators and storytellers. They engage with their audience, offering insights into the history and techniques of different dance styles, and often invite spectators to join in their routines. This interactive approach clearly shows the art of clogging and other dance forms, making them accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages.
