Led by none other than Brad Bailey, this talented pair delivers music that is both thoughtfully crafted and warmly engaging. Using top-notch gear and a small footprint, Car’Olina JazzGrass offers a professional attitude and an inviting sound that fits perfectly in private events, especially during the spring and fall seasons when their acoustic style complements intimate settings and the changing of the seasons. They are also available as a solo act, trio, or quartet, adding fiddle and percussion to expand their sonic range and adapt seamlessly to the needs of any event.

What sets Car’Olina JazzGrass apart is not just their versatility but their deep connection to musical heritage.

Each piece is performed with nuance and care, creating an atmosphere that is relaxed, engaging, and memorable without overpowering the moment. Brad’s thoughtful musicianship and the group’s well-balanced arrangements ensure every event feels personal and polished.

Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, a private party, or a corporate gathering, Car’Olina JazzGrass offers an exceptional acoustic experience. Their ability to blend tradition with fresh interpretation, along with their adaptable configurations, makes them a perfect choice for creating a warm, inviting musical backdrop for your special occasion.
