Daddy Good Times blends bluegrass roots with a funkadelic edge, creating a sound that’s both groove-heavy and string-driven. At its core is a tight acoustic duo, mixing banjo, guitar, and harmony-driven songs with rhythmic feel and playful improvisation.
The lineup can expand into a 4–5 piece string band, acoustic or electric, adding instrumentation such as bass, mandolin, and drums as needed. Whether stripped down or fully powered, Daddy Good Times balances traditional picking with deep grooves, extended jams, and a modern edge.
Daddy Good Times brings high energy, strong musicianship, and a fresh take on bluegrass-inspired music.
