No music reflects the historic roots and southern hospitality of North Carolina and South Carolina more than Dixieland  Jazz and Bluegrass.  Both Carolinas host many jazz festivals, large and small, that feature good Dixieland Bands throughout both states.   In addition, Bluegrass bands enjoy performing at festivals, large and small, in the mountains and foothills as well as the coastlands of North Carolina and South Carolina.

Recognizing the importance of this music in the Carolinas, Custom Music has made a point of representing some of the finest Dixieland and Bluegrass bands in the south.   It just happens that they all reside in North and South Carolina.   Along with festivals, these bands have grown to be very popular for a wide variety of events such as store openings, corporate affairs, open houses, sales meetings, political rallies and private parties.

Our friendly staff would welcome the opportunity of assisting you in selecting one of these great bands for your next theme party or special event!


DIXIELAND BAND

Southern Fried Jazz Band
It’s delightful! It’s delicious!  And it really cooks!  Once it was introduced to the public, the Southern Fried Jazz Band hit the pavement running, and has been going strong ever since.  In addition to performing for casuals (private parties, corporate functions, etc.) this band has a show that it performs nationally for Community Concerts and as part of the Performing Arts Series.  It also performs for local and regional events of all kinds throughout the southeast.

To see and hear the band, please visit its website at www.southernfriedjazz.com

With its extensive songlist and exceptional ability to read and relate to crowds, the Dixieland Strutters continue to spread good will at gatherings and special events of all kinds throughout the southeast.

If you haven’t heard FlintHill yet – be patient, you will.  These boys are on to something they can claim as their own.  When you get a chance, check them out.   You’ll be glad you did!

This band has been a favorite at special events such as fund raisers, pig pickin's, festivals and corporate and private parties as well as radio and TV shows.

After several years in Nashville, Al returned to his roots in Greenville, SC where he found some talented players with the same love of music that he has. This includes his wife Becky who plays bass with the group.  Having established a good rapport among themselves, Al Osteen & Friends developed an equally good repertoire and have been pickin’ and grinin’ together ever since.

In addition to Bluegrass music, the band can perform everything from Cajun and Cowboy to Old Country, and yes, some good swingin’ jazz when appropriate…..  And for Bluegrass connoisseurs, Al Osteen and his friends are hard to beat.
