Bluegrass Boston style!

This Massachusetts based blue grass band originally formed three years ago out of the friendships developed through local jams and festivals. Since coming together, The Goodtime Stringband have performed at fundraisers, numerous weddings, dances , company parties, outdoor festivals, parties, pubs and even at a tractor pull!!

Here’s what people have said about us…
They were a great group! Fun, easy-going, and incredibly talented!!! (Can’t get much better than that!) Would I have them again? Absolutely! They made our party so much fun! Many thanks!!!
Sandra Spring, Director of Member Services - Orchard Cove

“Feet stomping, hearts jumping and heads bobbing to the music, everyone was grinning ear to ear! The Goodtime Charlies were awesome…Rave reviews from customers and staff at Santos Dumont Cafe…ya’ll come back now!”
Lisa Anderson, Owner Santos Dumont Café

“This group of Bluegrass players belies their youth. As their name implies, they provide a goodtime for all ages. Harmonies are great, pickin’ and playin’ are tight. Their exuberance is definitely catching and their performance at the Lakes Region Conservation Trust’s 2nd Annual Afternoon of Bluegrass at Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough, NH was outstanding. They’ll definitely be welcomed back next year!”
Kitty Boyle, Director Lakes Region Conservation Trust

“…love the versatility of your music. Your authentic bluegrass style is just right for a lively party crowd but also perfect for background music so it’s easy to have conversations. Being a Southerner, you really made me miss home. I think it’s safe to say our future parties will definitely include the Goodtime Charlies whenever possible! Bring on the Rocky Top!”
Cail and Joe Bellavance


“This band’s lilting and lovely bluegrass blew everyone away. Our party, despite pouring rain, will be forever remembered as one of the greats due to the remarkable playing that characterized the night. It was superb music and I cannot recommend The band more highly.”
Margot Sprague
