Have the time of your
life.
Whether due to the
rural mountain Celtic & Bluegrass heritage, or to the
fact that the area has been hosting travelers for a
hundred of years, or the fact that Boone is a University
Town, and Appstate has a music department with serious
capabilities... the variety & quality, the breadth &
depth of the musicians, bands, and live music available
"in these parts" is actually quite stunning. If your
wedding calls for live music, you need not worry. Below
is a varied sampling of some of the musical options
available, and for the most part at "rural prices".
DJs, Music, Bands, Musicians The
Forget-Me-Nots
http://www.theforgetmenots.com The
Forget-Me-Nots, are the house band at The Mast Farm Inn.
They live literally one minute by foot from here, and
play regularly on Saturday mornings at Breakfast or
Friday evening at Diner. As these young ladies are 11,
12 and 14 this very much depends on their school exam
schedules. The Forget-Me-Nots bring fresh energy to the
ageless tradition of Celtic music. The band originated
in 2002 but its roots go back to 1999, when the girls
started playing violin at the tender ages of 2, 3 and 4
years old. The players are Willa Finck, Maura Shawn Scanlin, and
Ledah Finck, with Willa and Ledah's
Dad David Finck on backup guitar. The
girls, classically trained through the Suzuki method,
also showed an early interest in playing old-time and
Celtic fiddle music. This interest blossomed in the
fertile grounds of the North Carolina High Country, an
area steeped in Appalachian musical traditions.

weddings, smoky bars or whatever. Just say when and
where.
