The Waddington Brothers, a band of four brothers from rural North Dakota, perform what they live: music that is real to them, that takes listeners on a journey through the heart of the American West.

Seth, Ethan, Jacob, and Job Waddington skillfully blend cowboy and bluegrass music, creating a style that's timelessly classic and yet refreshingly new and unique. With their rich, stirring vocal harmonies and instrumental versatility that ranges from hard-driving bluegrass to more mellow acoustic tones, this quartet has developed a sound that is truly as strong as it is special. The Waddington Brothers share heartfelt songs that evoke feelings of warmth, appreciation, and a genuine connection to the way life was lived by our country's pioneers.

This group shares their music as a well-polished craft: one that's been cultivated by four siblings who have been playing and singing together their entire lives. Their musical inspiration today is drawn from many pools of influences. Their sound might be described as a mixture of traditional bluegrass, gospel music, and Western strains reminiscent of The Sons of the Pioneers. The Waddington Brothers took first place in 2023 at the annual SPBGMA (Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America) Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, the International Bluegrass Band Competition.

Press Quotes -

"The brother vocals are terrific and their musicianship is awesome. Our crowd especially enjoyed the addition of several “Cowboy” songs mixed into their sets along with the solid bluegrass. I believe we had more requests for them to come back than any other band, and that's saying a lot! Highly Recommended."

"I can honestly say that I've never heard a band quite like the Waddington Brothers! They mix traditional bluegrass sounds with classic Western music, creating a unique style and sound unlike any other musical act working today. Their music has a broad appeal to audiences far beyond fans of just bluegrass or Western music. Their tight family harmonies are fabulous, their musicianship is top-notch, and their concerts are wonderfully entertaining. I highly recommend the Waddington Brothers!"
