Magic Accident – Della Mae
Formed in Boston just over 15 years ago by Grand National Champion fiddler and founding member Kimber Ludiker, Della Mae achieved success early on when their 2013 release, This World Oft Can Be, earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. They scored additional acclaim when they were awarded Emerging Artist of the Year courtesy […]
Family Tree from Della Mae
Though they have worked most every side of the acoustic, Americana formula, Della Mae is back to their bluegrass roots, at least on their latest single, Family Tree. Fans who came to enjoy their music in recent years may not know that when the group launched in 2010 up in Boston, they were a more […]
The Butcher Shoppe – Della Mae
It would be understandable if the uninitiated mistakenly mistook Della Mae for a sister ensemble. Their close-knit harmonies and astute arrangements have a cohesion and confidence that ensures a compact fit and an air of authenticity that recalls an old time tradition of a vintage variety. With their fiddles and finesse, plucking, picking and heavenly [...] Bourbon Hound video from Della Mae
Rounder Records has released a music video for Bourbon Hound, the opening track on Della Mae's new EP, The Butcher Shoppe. It's a hard-charging drinking song, done up in a string swing style, with a rowdy feel not unlike the band's upbeat stage show. To capture just the right vibe, they brought in filmmaker Ryan [...] Sunday at Grey Fox ’16 – Kids Academy
Sunday at Grey Fox 2016 continues to have some top quality bands on the stage and the regular morning mediation and yoga classes, but it is also well known for its focus on ensuring a strong continuation of bluegrass music and traditions to the next generations. On Sunday Mary Doub and Ron Thomason present the [...] Saturday at Grey Fox ’16
Saturday was full of options and activities for all ages. The family tent had music shows, puppet shows, face painting, and activities for kids. There were dance workshops, called dances (squares, contras, etc), and plenty of bands to dance in whatever what one desired at the Catskill Tent. Kitsy Kuykendall hosted a Bluegrass Karaoke in [...] Della Mae going hard this summer, then taking a break
Della Mae has announced that they are gearing up for some exhaustive touring this summer, to be followed by an indefinite hiatus starting in mid-August. Citing a desire for time at home and to work on individual solo projects, the ladies did not indicate a clear-cut return date. Will this be a Nickel Creek-style hiatus, with [...] Carter Country video from Della Mae
When Della Mae played a house concert recently in Manchester, VT, Nancy Nutile-McMenemy captured this live video of the group performing the instrumental, Carter Country. It's an old-time-sounding fiddle tune which Jason Carter recorded back in 1997 that the Dellas have included in their show for some time now.

Della Mae has taken to heart the adage, "Sing for your supper," during their ongoing Home Invasion tour. As part of their effort to connect ever closer with their fans, the band has been staying at the homes of Della buffs along the way - at least those gracious enough to accommodate them on the tour. The payback [...] Friday at Grey Fox 2015
Friday at Grey Fox was another action-packed day. One of the hardest things about this festival is deciding what to do with so many great activities happening at the same time. There were workshops on dance, songwriting, and all kinds of instruments. Then there was the huge diversity of musicians performing - too many to name them [...]
