Limited Edition Turquoise Vinyl LP includes download card. For the past 15 years, Della Mae has been trailblazing as one of the most exciting live acts in the roots music scene. Wi th a GRAMMY nomination and years of touring experience, this female-forward string band releases a career-defining album with Magic Accident. Longtime supporters of women in roots music, Della Mae teamed up with producer Alison Brown for this new release, their first on Nashville-based Compass Records. Magic Accident showcases the band’s range of talents, from Americana songs that evoke early Chicks to energetic bluegrass and dreamy indie folk-inspired tunes. The band’s vocal power and instrumental skill shine throughout this mostly original collection, with standout tracks including “Out Run ‘Em,” written by guitarist Avril Smith and featuring champion fiddler and band founder Kimber Ludiker, “Lifeline,” sung by bassist Vickie Vaughn, and the title track, written and sung by Celia Woodsmith. Guest artists on the project include Mary Bragg (vocals) and Jen Gunderman (accordion), with Brown playing banjo and guitar throughout. Since forming in Boston in 2010, Della Mae has proved to the roots music world that an all-women band is no novelty. Their 2013 Rounder Records release, This World Oft Can Be, earned them their first GRAMMY nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. That same year, the International Bluegrass Music Association named them Emerging Artist of the Year. Della Mae has performed in over 30 countries on behalf of the U.S. State Department. They are favorites on the roots music circuit, where their high-energy performances always get audiences on their feet, inspired by the power of their music and message. “Della Mae is a tight, communicative, bonded band who, as you watch closely, does a remarkable thing: they root for each other… They just mean something. And they kick ass.” —No Depression “What’s most impressive… is not that Della Mae has succeeded, but that the band has done it and made it seem so easy.” —PopMatters Show more
