This past summer, the band was cast as the on-screen band for the motion picture production “Furry Vengenace.” This family comedy was filmed in Topsfield, MA and will star Brendan Fraser, Brooke Shields and Ken Jeong. Look for us on the big screen in the spring of 2010!

Here’s what people have said about the Goodtime Stringband:

“Thank YOU guys! You sounded terrific and your music truly made the event more fun and lively than ever. Everyone loved it!”
Harpoon Brewery Beer-B-Q – Fall 2009

“Thank you for a wonderful day on June 20th for my party; the band was fantastic, just as you were 2 years ago.  My guests enjoyed the music so very much.  I had so many comments on how wonderful the band was.  You were a definite hit; I was told it should be an annual event!”
Maxine, Cape Cod Family Party – Summer 2009

“Chris and I want you and all of your band to know how much we loved having you at our wedding. Your music was great and you created the environment we wanted! So many people have been telling us how great you are – and we agree.  I think it is remarkable that all ages loved you – from our 4 year old daughter to my 93 year old grandfather.”
Michelle and Chris,  Greater Boston Wedding – Summer 2009

“We just wanted to thank you again so much for the amazingly beautiful music on Saturday!  It was absolutely perfect and everything we had hoped for – and more!  Honestly.   All of our family and friends kept going on about how great you all were and what a fabulous time they had dancing – which I’m sure you noticed.  You were also great to work with – relaxed yet very on-top of everything.  THANK YOU!”
Christene and Tim, Cape Cod Wedding

I would recommend them for any event. They are very professional and represented our place of business well with good music and wholesome attitudes. Communication before the event was outstanding.”

“Feet stomping, hearts jumping and heads bobbing to the music, everyone was grinning ear to ear! The Goodtime Charlies were awesome…Rave reviews from customers and staff at Santos Dumont Cafe…ya’ll come back now!”
Lisa Anderson, Owner Santos Dumont Café

“This group of Bluegrass players belies their youth. As their name implies, they provide a goodtime for all ages. Harmonies are great, pickin’ and playin’ are tight. Their exuberance is definitely catching and their performance at the Lakes Region Conservation Trust’s 2nd Annual Afternoon of Bluegrass at Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough, NH was outstanding. They’ll definitely be welcomed back next year!”
Kitty Boyle, Director Lakes Region Conservation Trust

“…love the versatility of your music. Your authentic bluegrass style is just right for a lively party crowd but also perfect for background music so it’s easy to have conversations. Being a Southerner, you really made me miss home. I think it’s safe to say our future parties will definitely include the Goodtime Charlies whenever possible! Bring on the Rocky Top!”
Cail and Joe Bellavance

“This band’s lilting and lovely bluegrass blew everyone away. Our party, despite pouring rain, will be forever remembered as one of the greats due to the remarkable playing that characterized the night. It was superb music and I cannot recommend The band more highly.”

Whether you’re planning a party in the heart of Kentucky or a special gathering in Boston, bluegrass music will set your feet to tappin’. Similar to jazz, bluegrass bands bring an unmistakable sound that sets a wonderful mood for corporate parties, family reunion picnics, barbecues and more. Bluegrass bands usually incorporate fiddles, banjos, guitars, upright basses and other instruments including the mandolin, played by the founding father of bluegrass music himself: Bill Monroe. Originating from English, Irish and Scottish roots bluegrass music now has developed a strong American influence under the direction of such legends as Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt. The vocals and instrumentals a bluegrass band delivers can bring great energy and interest to any event you plan.
