Act of Congress: Music for Life’s Most Memorable Moments

For over 15 years, Act of Congress has crafted a sound that’s entirely their own, blending mandolin, violin, guitar, bass, and rich, layered harmonies into a genre-defying acoustic experience. What started as a passion for honest, expressive music has grown into a sought-after live experience for weddings, churches, and special events around the world.

At the heart of it all is authenticity.

“It’s hard for us to create anything meaningful without including the language of faith,” says violinist and vocalist Connie Skellie. “These songs are the soundtrack of our lives.”

Mandolinist and lead vocalist Adam Wright adds:

“The older I get, the less I’m interested in putting on a performance. I want people to feel something real, to feel served, and to walk away with joy.”

That philosophy shapes every note they play.


Unforgettable Wedding Experiences

Act of Congress doesn’t just play weddings; they help create moments people remember for a lifetime.

From the emotion of a ceremony to the energy of a packed dance floor, their ability to move seamlessly between intimate acoustic beauty and high-energy celebration sets them apart. With a style that spans Motown, modern hits, and timeless classics, every moment is thoughtfully crafted to match the flow of the day.

The result?

A wedding that feels personal, elevated, and unforgettable, for you and every guest in the room.


Trusted by Churches & Faith Communities

With a deep-rooted connection to faith, Act of Congress brings a rare authenticity to every church setting.

Their original music and fresh arrangements of hymns and gospel-inspired songs create meaningful, Spirit-filled environments that resonate far beyond the stage. Whether leading worship or performing in a concert setting, their goal is simple:

To serve the moment, and the people in it.


A Global Reputation for Excellence

Based in Alabama, Act of Congress has performed for audiences around the world as U.S. State Department Cultural Ambassadors, completing multiple international tours in countries including Thailand, Oman, and Liberia.

Their work has been featured by Showtime, Google, and National Public Television, and they’ve collaborated with symphonies to create large-scale, unforgettable performances.

Closer to home, they’ve been recognized as a “Must-See Live Act of Alabama” and featured in statewide campaigns celebrating the arts and culture of the region.
