Here’s what our listeners have to say….
“The Kitchen Boys have played at Stepping Stone Farms horse rescue and sanctuary open house fundraisers for the last few years. They add the perfect ambiance to our event with their grass-roots folk and Appalachian-style music. They are reliable and so accommodating. Our attendees and staff often take a timeout from other activities to just sit and listen, but no one loves them more than our ducks and geese. We are looking forward to having them back for years to come.”
“The Kitchen Boys are FANTASTIC! They have played many times here at the Zablocki Branch of the Milwaukee Public Library, and all ages enjoy listening to Bob and Aaron play a lively blend of bluegrass and folk music on their banjo, guitar, harmonica and washboard. We have enjoyed the times that they have played at the library and look forward to having them again.”
“The music of the Kitchen Boys inspires and is truly fun to experience! They bring together an assortment of instruments, lively vocal harmonies, and songs with incredible history —bringing all types of people together. Go see them!”
“I love to see a Kitchen Boys show! The rythm of the banjo and washboard have a warm upbeat sound, very much like the happy clip-
clop of a horse trotting by. The in-between song banter that the boys have together is laugh-out-loud fun. Great experience every time! ”
“The Kitchen Boys add such fun to our Port Washington Farmers Market with their upbeat tunes and old-fashioned instruments. Families love stopping to watch, sing along or even dance to their music, adding such a great ambiance to our market. ”
