Hailing from the heartland of the Lowcountry, the founding members of the Marshgrass Mamas came together in 2001 and have been creating their own form of swampy music for over two decades.
At 7 p.m. Sept. 26, they’ll be at the University of South Carolina Aiken’s Etherredge Center.
With Kristen Meierer on upright bass, Cary Ann Hearst on guitar, Dee Payne on banjo, Chandler Marburg on fiddle & guitar, Gina Perez on fiddle, Caitlin Cahill on banjolele, Skye Paige on slide guitar, and Becca Smith on guitar, the Marshgrass Mamas have roots in the heart and soul of traditional Bluegrass and Appalachian Old-Time classics, according to a news release.
They have not only stuck to their roots but have also evolved a unique sound of their own from their talents and time together, according to a news release. The Mamas are known not just for playing music but also for being more than entertaining on stage, all the while stomping out their signature sounds.
“Beautiful harmonies mixed with a good splash of ridiculousness are sure to melt your heart and keep you coming back for more, hence their consistently sold-out shows. If ‘girls’ weekend’ was a band…it’d be the Mama” the release said.
Tickets for the Marshgrass Mamas are $20 for adults and $5 for students and are available at the Etherredge Center box office or online at etherredgecenter.universitytickets.com.
