About

Hey there,

If you're on the hunt for a live band that is fun, friendly and delightfully different then look no further.

We're music geeks who've absorbed the sounds of bluegrass, rock n' roll and timeless classics. We have a penchant for music you would imagine hearing in a smoky saloon or cocktail bar, but we realize what decade it is. Our music has an old-time soul with a modern belly.

Our clients say things like "Holy cow! I can't believe you just played Old Crow Medicine Show and Outkast in the same set!" and our personal favorite, "Are you all related?"

To us, that is the utmost compliment. We like to think of ourselves as musical siblings collaborating to make each wedding an experience. We take pride in being able to deliver something slightly unexpected and see your guests go nuts on the dance floor. We like to walk away from each gig with a room full of new best friends.

Instead of trying to duplicate a song you've heard on the radio, we "gussy it up" into our own style.

We play farms, barns, wineries, swanky lofts, country clubs and everything in between - even summer camps! We also play destination weddings, festivals, and private events.

No party is too small or too big. We have a professional sound team and various music packages to suit your needs.

Thanks for visiting our page. If you have any questions, feel free to fire away.

XO,

Gussied

Best wedding band!

These guys are truly special! We initially hired them pre-pandemic for our May 2020 wedding that we had to postpone. They were extremely kind, patient, and flexible as we changed plans several times. We ended up having just four of them to better suit our 50-person socially distant wedding. Even though we couldn't have a dance floor, they were still the hit of the wedding. Our friends and family still talk about how much they enjoyed Gussied's music and energy. The ceremony music was also incredibly beautiful and memorable. On the wedding day, they couldn't have been more professional. I'm so happy we made the decision to work with Gussied, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Best wedding band ever

We were so happy we picked Gussied to play at our wedding. If you want talented musicians to play real music at your wedding, they are the band for you. From day one they were amazing to work with, happy to accommodate all of our special requests, and exceeded our expectations in every way. We constantly hear from our friends and family what a great wedding band we had, some people said it even felt like a personal concert! Thank you Gussied for making our special day so perfect.

My husband and I hired Gussied to play at our wedding on June 27th, 2015. Initially, we were worried that our friends and family wouldn't dance to a bluegrass-folk style band playing pop covers, but we had a farm wedding, and wanted a live band with great reviews that would fit the venue. We talked on the phone with Liz and she was very helpful and professional. She assured us that Gussied would get everyone on the dance floor - and she was right! We also hired a ceremony musician through Gussied to play keyboard so my grandfather could sing during our ceremony. The musician even arrived early so he could run through the music with my grandfather. For our cocktail hour, Gussied made a playlist based on songs and bands we liked. Gussied also coordinated behind my back with my parents so that my father could perform a song he wrote for his father of the bride speech. My mom was very happy with the way Gussied helped her set it up. Thanks so much, Gussied! If you are even thinking about hiring Gussied - you should! You won't regret it!
