Mama Said String Band
Mama Said String Band is a five piece group
based out of Louisville, Kentucky. Their combined musical backgrounds, spanning
multiple cultures, styles and genres, with a strong focus on vocal harmony and
innovative instrumentation, builds a unique aural medley. Known for having a
strong female presence, they gather influences from Bluegrass, Folk, and
Americana. The Mama Said String Band brings to life sounds once forgotten while
creating a youthful yet tactfully delivered message.
In the past two years, this ensemble has
performed at various notable festivals and events including FloydFest, Bristol
Rhythm and Roots, and Terrapin Hill Farm. In June 2018 the band was named
runner-up at the annual John Hartford Memorial Festival band competition. They
also were nominated as finalist in the category of BLUEGRASS ARTIST of the year
for the Louisville Music Awards. Mama Said String Band released their debut
album in February 2018 and reviewers have boldly praised the up and coming five
piece.
