About

Please see our first review, as I think it describes us better than I could!

The No Name Stringband is a collective of Madison-area musicians who combine a broad understanding of traditional Appalachian old-time music with a slew of original acoustic compositions. The music ranges from fiddle-led, foot-stomping barn dances to slower, introspective classical-bluegrass numbers. Our performances are easily tuned to the event - if we're playing a dance, we play loud and fast, but we can slow things down for a sentimental ceremony.

NNSB has been warmly received at weddings, farm dinners, barn dances, bars, festival stages, house parties, neighborhood picnics, birthdays, and other unique events such as the Madison Children Museum's Adult Swim Night.

We are flexible! We can bring a big band, a small band, play acoustic or with a PA, play your cocktail hour (that's our favorite!) or even provide the main entertainment for the evening. If you want music for your ceremony, we can provide traditional classical music or learn 'your' song (as long as we can do it in our fashion!)

Hope to hear from you!

Wedding performance

NNSB was the best addition to our wedding. They were extremely professional and charming. They added the best ambiance to our show. Everyone raved about them and loved them. They moved with the crowd and played such fun music. I highly recommend!

One of the best things about our wedding

I honestly can not say how happy we are that we went with the No Name String Band to play at our wedding. After checking them out at State Line Distillery, my wife and I knew that we needed them to play our wedding. They played during the ceremony, the cocktail hour, made a jazz playlist for dinner, and then played the reception. They learned songs for the ceremony, and were perfect. I honestly can not recommend them enough. They called square dances during our reception and literally half of those in attendance participated, the whole night was a blast.

The No Name Stringband was a delight and highlight at our wedding. Their music was perfect for guests of all ages to dance to, and the band was kind enough to prepare some songs at our request (and patient enough to field questions along the way). Actually one song was for our 'first dance'--we messed up our choreography and couldn't figure out how to end! The band--totally professional--seamlessly figured this out and kept playing until we figured out our steps. This group sounds great, and they are good people. You can't go wrong.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
