Live Bluegrass for New Mexico Weddings

Looking for a wedding band with real character? The Santa Fe Grass brings live bluegrass, classic country, and Americana to weddings in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and across northern New Mexico. From an intimate ceremony to a lively reception, our four-piece band delivers great picking, warm harmonies, and music your guests will remember.

What we sound like

A working New Mexico four-piece, not a generic wedding band: guitar, mandolin, five-string banjo, and upright bass, with warm vocal harmonies. Fully acoustic when you want it, amped up when it’s time to dance.

Lineup: David Thom — guitar & lead vocals; Bob Bruen — mandolin & vocals; Marc Bolen — five-string banjo; Ken Williams — upright bass & vocals.

Every part of your day

  • Ceremony music
  • Cocktail hour
  • Dinner music
  • Reception sets and dancing

Also: rehearsal dinners and after-parties

What we bring

  • Our own professional PA, for ceremony and reception, indoors or out
  • MC services
  • Song requests, including learning a first-dance / special song
  • Coordination with your planner or venue; we show up early and dress for the occasion
