Della Mae

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. The GRAMMY-nominated string band was founded in 2010 and over the next decade and a half theyve 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.

Now 15 years since their origin, Della Mae can boast their strongest lineup yet. There has never been a band like Della Mae in roots music before, but thanks to Kimber Ludiker, Celia Woodsmith, Avril Smith, Vickie Vaughn and all of the women who have been part of this band over its long life we know there will be many more bands, singers, songwriters, and pickers just like Della Mae in the future.
