Michael and Jennifer McLain
"Jennifer's voice is sweet and pure, even angelic"
(Bluegrass Now magazine)

"McLains have mastered their art ... two supreme stylists in the genre"
(Gashouse Radio)

“Jennifer McLain’s crystal-clear vocals ... are wed to Michael McLain’s incredibly skillful musicianship.”

Recent Highlights

Over our married life (30 years!) we have toured the U.S. with shows in 32 states: AL, AR, CA, CO, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MN, MS, NC, ND, NE, NH, NY, OH, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, WV and Jennifer's home state of Virginia.

We were honored to headline concerts and festivals in Minot, ND, Boca Grande, FL, Reading, PA, Bolton Landing, NY, Lafayette, LA, Lutsen, MN, and even had the opportunity to back Justin Rivers (from “The Voice”) at a show in Bowling Green, KY!

Our band was featured on the PBS show, Song of the Mountains. The show is taped at the historic Lincoln Theatre in Marion, VA in front a live audience. It airs on over 180 Public Television outlets across the United States.

In the last few years, we have provided live music for over 50 corporate and conference clients including the Library of Congress, U-Haul, IBM, John Hancock, Subway, Boy Scouts of America, and Lifepoint Hospitals and 5 major universities.

And some exciting news - in 2024 we were inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame along with the McLain Family Band!
