Mae, Della - Magic Accident

For the past 15 years, Della Mae has been trailblazing as one of the most
exciting live acts in the roots music scene.

With 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.
Available on turquoise coloured vinyl with 4-page folder and digipak CD editions.
