The Pleasant Family: Home

CabooseBand

The Pleasant Family Old Time String Band consists of five members who play the "old time" music that formed the roots of today's bluegrass music. We come together from various parts of Central Florida ranging from Orlando to Clearwater to Bradenton. Although we are not a real family, we are keeping alive the tradition of the family band.

Credits include the Florida Old Time Music Championships (first place in 2005 and 2009), the Florida State Fair in Cracker Country, a private concert for former President Jimmy Carter, and a range of venues including library concerts, town festivals, mobile home park special events, and farmer's markets. We have even played for weddings...but so far no funerals! Our recorded repertoire consists of nearly 60 tunes, vocal and instrumental, on three CD's.
