Grammy-nominated Della Mae has established a reputation as a hard-touring live act, building a fan base while racking up massive critical acclaim.
The quintet draws from a bottomless well of roots influences to create original music that conveys their musical vision with a contemporary relevance that places them alongside such roots-conscious acts as The Avett Brothers, Punch Brothers, The Lumineers and Shovels & Rope.
Formed in 2009 in Boston, Della Mae is one of the first modern all-women bluegrass bands. Kimber Ludiker on fiddle, Celia Woodsmith on vocals and guitar, Zoe Guigueno on bass, Jenni Lyn Gardner on mandolin, and Courtney Hartman on guitar, vocals, and banjo were accomplished musicians prior to forming the band. Individually, they have played bluegrass, folk, rock and country, and have backed up Willie Nelson, Taj Mahal, Leon Russell, Del McCoury Band and numerous others.
Della Mae stops in Revelry Room on Saturday night, Feb. 3, where audiences can hear for themselves why they were named IBMA’s Emerging Artists of the Year in 2013.
