Quad group, would a bard work?

What I want to do and what we will do is a whole other story. A few members of the group have a limited time to play so it is really a 5-10 hour session every few weeks. So realistically we would be lower level for a while and although the dungeon crawl is nice here and there, overland is most likely what we would end up doing.
