Della Mae plus Twisted Pine

Episode 186: Formed as a showcase for women in string band music in 2009, Della Mae has seen lineup changes but no drift in its mission to create a new bluegrass and neo-folk sound full of ideas and heart. This episode, founding member Kimber Ludiker and decade-long vocalist Celia Woodsmith tell the story of how the band worked together at a distance during 2020 and then came together in a cathartic run of sessions that became the new Family Reunion. Also, Boston's imaginative, daring Twisted Pine speaks to me at the World of Bluegrass.
