Mama Said String Band

What exactly did Mama say- “if you’re going to record a band video, do it in the bathroom!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSv-bGa9uNg  It was great seeing Mama Said String Band perform at FloydFest 18.  These ladies, and a gent, brought a great presence to Floyd including a set in the VIP area where I chatted with them for a few minutes.

From their website–

“Mama Said String Band is a five- piece group based out of Louisville, Kentucky. Their combined musical backgrounds, spanning multiple cultures, style, and genres, with a strong focus on vocal harmony and innovative instrumentation, builds a unique aural medley. Known for having a strong female presence, they gather influences from Bluegrass, Folk, and Americana. The Mama Said String Band brings to life sounds once forgotten while creating a youthful yet tactfully delivered message.

In the past two years, this ensemble has performed at various notable festivals and events including FloydFest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots, and Terrapin Hill Farm. In June 2018 the band was named runner-up at the annual John Hartford Memorial Festival band competition. They also were nominated as a finalist in the category of BLUEGRASS ARTIST of the year for the Louisville Music Awards. Mama Said String Band released their debut album in February 2018 and reviewers have boldly praised the up and coming five-piece.”
