Bluegrass Band Sister Sadie Embodies Tradition, But Bends It Too
To be a respected citizen of the bluegrass world, no matter how far newgrass, jamgrass, folk-rock, pop, indie and classical offshoots push its boundaries, requires being able to play in a traditional style with real command and grit. The band Sister Sadie has certainly lived up to that musical ideal over the past eight years through various festival and club dates and two album releases.
Founding singer-guitarist Dale Ann Bradley describes, with conviction and an evocative gardening tool metaphor, how her band mates attack their instruments: Deanie [Richardson] plays with as much fire and passion as anybody who s ever picked up a fiddle. Tina [Adair] s got the killer rhythmic chop and perfect leads and fills that fit the song. And Gina [Britt] is a rototiller on the banjo. You know, it s just something that they re not inhibited.
