Grammy-Nominated Bluegrass Band Della Mae at the Kate February 9

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, presents Nashville-based string band Della Mae on Wednesday, February 9, 2022 at 7:30 pm.

Since forming in Boston in 2009, Della Mae has established a reputation as a charismatic live act comprised of some of the finest players in bluegrass, Americana and beyond. Originating from different musical backgrounds and states across the US and Canada, each member brings distinct elements that make Della Mae such a beloved band. Versatile instrumentalists and vocalists, they draw from a bottomless well of roots influences to create vibrant original music that conveys expansive musical vision. With timeless lyrical truth-telling and an unmistakably contemporary sensibility, they stand alongside such roots-conscious acts as the Avett Brothers, Punch Brothers, the Lumineers, and Hurray for the Riff Raff.

They were IBMA’s Emerging Artists of the Year in 2013, GRAMMY Nominees in 2014 for their debut album on Rounder Records, named among Rolling Stone’s “10 bands to watch for in 2015,” and have since traveled with the US State Department to over 18 countries spreading peace and understanding through music.

Della Mae is: Celia Woodsmith—vocals, guitar / Kimber Ludiker—fiddle, vocals / Maddie Witler—mandolin, vocals / Avril Smith—guitar, vocals / Vickie Vaughan-- bass, vocals
