ABOUT THE BAND:
Hailing from the Baltimore/DC area, the group consists of Juliette Bell on guitar, Lainie Gray on mandolin, and Madeline Waters on cello. Their sound can be described as contemporary folk with a mischievous edge that is grounded in traditional roots, Americana, and bluegrass music but branches out into Americana and blues. They write original music ranging from fun and light-hearted sing-alongs to deep, introspective tunes for the ages. No matter the genre, their music relies heavily on intricate vocal harmonies, thoughtful arrangement, and instrumental prowess. By growing their presence as a collaborative force, they hope to increase female representation as both musicians and songwriters throughout the modern music landscape.
Wicked Sycamore won the Charm City Bluegrass band competition in 2019 and they were awarded two WAMMIES in 2021 for Best Bluegrass Group/Artist and Best Bluegrass Album (In More Ways Than One) in the DMV-area. Wicked Sycamore has played around the Mid-Atlantic region at festivals such as DelFest, Charm City Bluegrass Festival, and Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival as well as onstage at venues like The Hamilton, Pearl Street Warehouse, Union Stage, and The Howard Theatre.
