Since the band's creation in 2019, the group has worked to combine the traditional roots of their Appalachian region with progressive instrumentation, songwriting and subject matter. The Well Drinkers don’t shy away from the opportunity to bring experimental jams, jazz, Cajun, classical and reggae into their live performances.

These guys really know their way around the strings, playing a variety of instruments like mandolin, dobro, banjo, acoustic guitar and upright bass.  With incredible finger picking, smooth harmonies, and intoxicating vocals, this band puts their own spin on the familiar sounds of the bluegrass genre.  These experienced musicians play at a high degree of difficulty, but it’s easy to forget when you’re listening to their songs because it all blends together like cornbread and molasses.
