Here's a second gallery of Frank Baker's fine photos from the 2012 Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival. One more still to come.
Here is the final gallery of images from Frank Baker, shot on Sunday, the final day of last weekend's 2012 Spring Gettysburg Bluegrass festival. You can see the other three galleries here. Big thanks to Frank not only for shooting for us, but for sorting through and selecting all these pictures! This weekend, we have [...]
Boston-based alt-grassers, Della Mae, have announced Shelby Means as the new bass player with the band. Shelby played with a number of bluegrass groups in her native Wyoming, before moving to Nashville recently where she had been performing with The David Mayfield Parade. Readers may recall Mayfield's time as guitarist with Cadillac Sky before that group disbanded [...]
Yesterday (3/25), Boston's distaff grassers, Della Mae, played to a sold-out, hometown crowd at Club Passim. Here the band played some of their earliest gigs during the formative years, and Sunday's show featured both a triumphant homecoming, and an emotional goodbye. They took the occasion of a friendly audience to announce the imminent departure of [...]

I've been waiting for this.

The chorus of the song starts... [...]
Tonight in Boston, Della Mae will celebrate the release of their new CD, I Built This Heart, at Beantown's venerable Club Passim. If you, like most of our readers can't make the trip, you can watch the whole thing streaming live online. Concert Window will be offering the CD-release show as a free stream, one [...]
Another band that made some waves at IBMA 2011 is Della Mae, who not only played some solid music at several late night showcases, but helped smash a number of stereotypes along the way. They perform without a banjo, in complete defiance of established bluegrass norms. As a banjo player myself, I can't say that [...]
