Bluegrass supergroup Della Mae at The Waldo
Each generation, perhaps once a decade, bluegrass experiences a band or an artist that redefines and recenters the genre itself. Della Mae is one such band. Hear them at The Waldo Theatre Friday, March 27 in a 7:30 p.m. concert.
The Grammy-nominated string band was founded in 2010 and over the next decade and a half they’ve demonstrated to the roots music world, once and for all, that a band of all women is not, nor has ever been, a mere novelty.
They remain at the forefront of the explosion of women instrumentalists and all-women acts in roots music and their impact is striking and measurable – not just in North America, but around the globe. Now 15 years since their origin, Della Mae can boast their strongest lineup yet. Founders Kimber Ludiker and Celia Woodsmith are joined by guitarist and songwriter Avril Smith and vocalist and two-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Vickie Vaughn.
Their latest release, "Magic Accident" has Billboard magazine saying, “Taken together, these songs convey inspiration, encouragement, and comfort, aimed at generations of women from all walks of life, championing them to be vocal and live their most authentic lives.”
General admission tickets start at $30. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and concessions will be available for purchase. To purchase tickets and for more information about The Waldo, parking and other upcoming events, please visit: thewaldotheatre.org.
