LLMF Presents: An Evening of Bluegrass and More!
SISTER SADIE
Lake Lure Music Festival (LLMF) is very excited to announce “An evening of Bluegrass and More” on Saturday, June 8, 2024, from 6:00pm-8:15pm.
Lake Lure Music Festival features “Sister Sadie” from Nashville. They will be performing on the beautiful shores of Lake Lure at Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure Pavilion.
Sister Sadie is a wildfire: raging hot bluegrass combined with breathtaking instrumental drive and awe-inspiring vocals. Comprised of original members Deanie Richardson (fiddle), Gena Britt (banjo & vocals) and newcomers Jaelee Roberts (guitar & vocals), Dani Flowers (guitar & vocals), and Maddie Dalton (acoustic bass & vocals), Sister Sadie has combined the varied talents of each of the individual women in the lineup to create something that is far more than the sum of its parts. It is a sound uniquely their own. Yes, it’s undeniably classic, hard-driving bluegrass, but it’s much more than just that. Rooted in forceful and tight vocal harmonies, this isn’t your granddaddy’s Appalachian high lonesome sound. This is something far more powerful than that—it’s the sound of the mountains themselves.

They met a handful of years ago when Walter was performing on stage- April made a song request and Walter jokingly asked her if she wanted to come on stage and sing it…and she did.
