We are so excited to unveil the final installment of our DelFest Sessions, featuring Grammy-nominated bluegrass supergroup @sistersadieband. Over the course of the Memorial Day festival in Cumberland, Maryland, BGS contributors and videographers @iknowweshould shot a half dozen superlative live performances on the gorgeous banks of the Potomac River. From festival hosts the Travelin’ McCourys, Big Richard, and Wood Belly to East Nash Grass, Mountain Grass Unit, and now the Sadies, each edition of our @DelFest1 sessions has been an audio swatch of the incredible national string band scene we all adore.
The first, “Blue As My Broken Heart,” was written by Dani Flowers – who sings lead on the number – with co-writers Victoria Banks and Rachel Proctor. Evocative imagery and detailed text painting here feel more than appropriate for the setting, in the verdant foothills of Appalachia on the cusp of spring and summer. You can almost feel the blue sky above and you can certainly grasp, immediately, why this group is up for eight IBMA Awards this year – including Entertainer of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year.
