Most wedding entertainment relies on a standard rotation of pop and rock covers. Country Bound offers a different direction by bringing the drive and texture of the Nashville sound to North Yorkshire.

 

We lead with live fiddle and banjo to create a performance that is far more engaging than a typical function band setup.

Technical Skill and Authentic Instrumentation

The sound is built on the interplay between the fiddle and the banjo. These instruments provide a rhythmic intensity that works exceptionally well in the large acoustic spaces found in many York venues.

Whether you have booked a contemporary city space or a rural North Yorkshire barn, the music carries a weight and energy that is specifically designed for a live environment.

This is not a novelty act. We are professional musicians specialising in modern country music, delivering a setlist that balances the heavy hitting anthems of artists like Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton with high energy versions of well known tracks from other genres.

A High Impact Setlist

The repertoire is curated to keep the evening moving. We avoid the predictable clichés of the wedding circuit, focusing instead on tracks that have a genuine groove.

We use the unique textures of our instruments to pull people toward the stage, ensuring the music remains the focus of the evening rather than just background noise.

We understand that a wedding crowd is diverse. Our arrangements are designed to be accessible, ensuring that those unfamiliar with the genre still find themselves drawn into the performance.

The energy is consistent, building from the first set into a high tempo conclusion.

Professional Integration

We handle all technical requirements for the evening. This includes a high specification sound system and a stage lighting rig tailored to the layout of your venue. Our experience with the logistics of York wedding venues ensures that the setup is handled efficiently and without disruption to your schedule.

We operate as a self contained unit. From the moment we arrive to the final note of the night, we manage every aspect of the audio and visual production. This professional approach allows for a seamless transition between the different stages of your wedding day.

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!
