Press/Reviews

“Hire Local Freight for your wedding or event now! They are such amazing and fantastic pickers. We were so pleased with their music at our wedding … They were very responsive and accommodating to our special request. We had them play our cocktail hour, and my only regret is not having them play the whole reception. If you’re a fan of bluegrass look no further, this is the band you want. Thank you for making our special day extra special with your amazing sound for us to get down!”  Ryan – Montpelier, VT


“Thank you so much for playing for our party on Friday night. We had a blast!!! Local Freight was a huge hit and made our weekend all the more special.”  Brian – Portland, OR


“You guys sounded so great! The vibe you put out there really was exactly what we were hoping for and it helped shape the event.”  Ari – Boston, MA

“Local Freight’s slogan is “Bluegrass that delivers,” and they make good on their promise by delivering clean harmonies, strong instrumentation, and a solid groove. While the band itself is fairly new to the bluegrass scene, it features four talented veteran bluegrass players: John Tibert on mandolin and vocals, Rich Piccaretto on guitar and vocals, Pete Fein on banjo and vocals, and Lynne Fountain on bass and vocals. They are regular features at The Bluegrass Throedown at Nick-a-Nees in Rhode Island and will be on the main stage at the Bluegrass on the Bogs festival in Hanson this spring.”   – Rockland News, January 2015
