"The singing is fabulous and impassioned, which is what modern day bluegrass could use more of. The arrangements are stellar and the material is strong."
~Tony Trischka
Grammy Nominated Banjo Legend
The NYCity Slickers is an 8-piece, high energy bluegrass band that combines the wailing tight harmonies and talents of three gorgeous gal singers with the hard driving sound of five musically gifted musicians on banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass and accordion. The Slickers' unique "Big Apple Bluegrass" sound is a synthesis of traditional bluegrass, zydeco, delta blues & country pop, resulting in a theatrically inspired, toe tappin', one-of-a-kind, rockin' good time.
"This is the first unknown family band to bring me a CD that sounds this professional and trust me I've heard a bunch. Y'all need to be on tour!"

"I simply want to thank you for affording me one of the most delightful and enjoyable evenings that I have spent in a long time. Your incredible musical talent is matched only by your cordiality and kindness. As a long-time fan of bluegrass music, I found yours to be absolutely enchanting. I could have listened to you all night. You all made me so proud to be from Mississippi."
~William Winter
Former Governor of Mississippi
"From my days producing country tunes in New York and Nashville, I have always loved an authentic sound mixed with creative inspiration, and the NYCity Slickers are all that and more. They are the best toe tappin' / leg shakin' / put a smile on your face / good time band I know."
