Della Mae is a GRAMMY-nominated all-woman string band featuring founding members Celia Woodsmith (lead vocalist/guitarist) and 2-time Grand National champion fiddle player Kimber Ludiker, along with guitarist Avril Smith, and two-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year Vickie Vaughn.

Hailing from across North America, and reared in diverse musical styles, Della Mae is one of the most charismatic and engaging roots bands touring today. They have traveled to over 30 countries spreading peace and understanding through music. Their mission as a band is to showcase top female musicians, and to improve opportunities for women and girls through advocacy, mentorship, programming, and performance.

Their live shows are foot-stomping, crowd-pleasing riots, full of the kind of high-octane instrumental skills that the band – now in its twelfth year and its third incarnation – was always intended to showcase. – The Guardian

Long regarded as one of the most powerful live bands in bluegrass/Americana, Della Mae’s live show always includes covers by songwriters and artists they esteem as a playful treat. Inevitably, after release tours, the band returns home having performed songs on the road that fans love but are unrecorded.  They’ve recently released four such songs – Can’t Let Go, Ohio, The Shetland Islands, and a well-beloved cover of Blind Melon’s No Rain – as a nod to their beloved first song dancers and new fans alike.

This event is supported in part by grants from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, the Green Bay Packers Foundation, and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
