About The Band

About Us

Caleb Wilkie and the Privateers are a high energy show that thrives off crowd engagement. Starting with country and southern rock standards the show shifts into requests and originals and the music heats up. Caleb’s 90’s country voice and Kyle’s bluegrass banjo blend for a fun, engaging, and eclectic experience that covers a wide variety of genres and songs that the crowd can sing along to. Playing across North Georgia since 2021, Caleb and Kyle love playing music that people want to hear and making new friends. The Privateer experience is an ever changing good time that will prove banjo playing and quality vocals are not just for hillbillies and old folks. The show that will leave you saying, “I never heard it played like that before!”
