Country Bound leans into the percussive, organic sound of live country music to provide a performance that feels intentional rather than generic.

 

By leading with the specific textures of the fiddle and banjo, we offer a live experience that stands apart from the typical function band circuit in Leicestershire.

Rhythm and Texture

The core of our sound is the interplay between the instruments. The banjo provides a driving, rhythmic foundation while the fiddle adds a melodic layer that guitar based bands cannot replicate. 


This combination creates a high impact sound that fills a room without relying on sheer volume. Whether your venue is a contemporary space in Leicester city centre or a rural barn in the surrounding countryside, the music is balanced to suit the acoustics of the environment.


Our musicians focus on the technical execution of the Nashville sound. This is about the grit of the performance and the quality of the vocal harmonies. We aim to provide a set that guests will genuinely want to watch, creating a focal point for the evening reception.

 

A Curated Setlist

We avoid the standard rotation of tired wedding covers. Our repertoire is built around the heavy hitters of modern country music, including artists such as Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, and Chris Stapleton.


We also take well known tracks from other genres and rearrange them with a country lean, ensuring the music remains accessible while maintaining a distinct identity.


The sets are structured to build momentum. We start with a focus on the groove and melody, moving toward a high energy conclusion that keeps the dance floor active. The goal is to provide a consistent atmosphere that feels fresh from the first note to the final encore.

 

Technical Execution and Logistics

We manage all aspects of the production to ensure a professional result. Every booking includes a high specification sound system and a stage lighting rig that we tailor to the specific dimensions of your venue.


Our team is experienced in the logistics of Leicestershire venues, allowing for an efficient and discreet setup that does not interfere with your schedule.


We operate as a self contained unit. We handle the load in, soundcheck, and technical management throughout the evening, providing a seamless transition from the wedding breakfast to the party.

Our Client Testimonials

Duncan (HMA Tax) (HMA Tax - Polo Event) 10/10

Hi Micki, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for performing at our Polo day this year. We've done tonnes of similar events and you were by far the best band we have had. We really appreciated how accomodating you were and I've never had so much positive feedback about a performer. I'll share a few extracts from emails I've recieved below. I hear from Philly you may be making an appearance at our Christmas part - excellent news! Thanks Duncan

Jack Reynolds (Bar) 10/10

I hired Country Bound for a country themed night at my bar, myself and all our customers were blown away. Everyone had an amazing time up dancing all night! Micki's voice was unbelievable and the backing vocals that the others do really made band sound extra special. These guys are the real deal.

Chris Edwards (Private Wedding) 10/10

We were lucky enough to book Country Bound for our C&W Festival-themed wedding! Micki and the band were true professionals who lifted our day to the next level with an amazing range of modern country and pop-country covers that had the room on the dance floor. Nothing was too much for them and they were a joy to have as part of our very special day. Huge thanks to the entire band! These guys are the real deal.

Hi Micki, I cannot thank you and the band enough. You are all absolutely amazing and you made our wedding day even more perfect. So many of our guests (and even some staff at the venue) said that you are the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. I also had so many compliments about how incredible a singer you are. Thank you so much!

Vanessa N (Wedding) 10/10

We really wanted a country band for our wedding and didn't think we'd be able to find one. After searching we came across Country Bound and immediately knew they were the band we wanted for our wedding. We weren't disappointed. The band were incredible! All of our guests had a great time and loved the music. I was surprised as not all of our guests like country as much as we do but Country Bound performed a lot of songs that everyone knows and loves. They made our wedding so special. Thank you Country Bound!

Lisa Briggs Hardy

We went to the Picturedrome in Northampton for the first time, despite living in the county for 50+ years. Firstly what an amazing venue. This was the first country gig they had put on and Country Bound were the main act. They were fantastic! A drummer, a guitarist, a fiddle player, a guitarist and banjo player, and a female singer. They played mainly modern country with some old hits mixed in, which really got the crowd going. They also played some modern songs like Adele but countryfied them. The whole evening was great. We'd definitely see them again.

Ellie Hewitt

Absolutely amazing night at Watersmeet theatre. Singing was INCREDIBLE! Some fabulous songs, perfect for everyone! Can't wait to see Country Bound again!
