The Country Hoedowners

The Country Hoedowners deliver all the energy with their footstompin’ folk covers and ceilidh/barn dance tunes!

With over 15 years performing live at festivals and private events worldwide, The Country Hoedowners guarantee a good ol' time wherever they go. Expect a fusion of your favorite country classics and contemporary covers, delivered in their distinctive fiddle-driven folk style that seamlessly blends the twang of classic folk and country with the pulse of modern hits!

Furthermore, should you opt to include barn dancing in your booking, The Country Hoedowners will expertly lead you through set dances accompanied by their barn-shaking tunes! So, grab your partner, dust off those boots, and immerse yourself in a night of foot-stomping, heart-pounding revelry!

Frontman Will, an award-nominated singer and multi-instrumentalist, joins forces with the duo's guitarist, ensuring that The Country Hoedowners deliver a world-class performance with a sleek and cost-effective lineup that creates a 'full' sound. Brace yourself for a captivating show featuring melodic vocals, fiddle shuffling, harmonica bending, and guitar twanging!

The Country Hoedowners offer rather unique value which is the option of both barn dancing/ceilidh AND covers! Essentially, you get the benefits of two bands for the price of one. There's no need to separately book a barn dance/ceilidh band and a covers band – these versatile musicians have you covered for both.

Your Event
The Country Hoedowners offer complete flexibility in tailoring the ratio of barn/ceilidh dancing to covers based on your preferences when booking. Whether you desire 2 x 45 minutes (standard) exclusively dedicated to barn dancing, covers, a 50/50 blend of both, or any custom combination that suits your event, they can accommodate. While they often recommend a 60/40 split in favor of barn dancing versus covers, the choice is entirely yours to ensure the perfect balance for your event.
