   About DitchLilies
This mid-western quartet has the grit and pure talent to fairly represent country music's Golden Era. From Appalachian mountain music to hillbilly swing, and from jug band stomps to honky-tonk, their love for it all can send audiences on a wild musical ride from Bakersfield to Galax. Always true to the emotion and cadence of these revered musical traditions, the DitchLilies continue to bring a uniqueness all their own to these long lost songs and instrumentals. With the indubitable and variously tender and bold honky-tonk inflected vocals of multi-instrumentalist Lisa Schultz, the imagination and well-honed guitar, uke, lap steel, and mandolin work of Kari Larson, the bluesy richness of Meghan Dudle's fiddle stylings, and the beat-down, slap it, solo improvisation of stand up bassist Liz Draper, the DitchLilies bring a refreshing sound to the roots music revival. The DitchLilies are available for performances, festivals, workshops, couples dances, and your own special event.
