Upcoming Shows
(An) arrestingly fun show...clearly bursting with talent...The crowd clearly loved the energy from the performance,
as every song, dance solo, and mid-number banjo breakdown was following by vigorous clapping and hollers. -- SMILE POLITELY
You don't often hear words like "traditional," and "authentic" paired with "innovative" and "unique," but Evie Ladin has brought them together brilliantly in the self-titled, debut album of the Evie Ladin Band, and the result is truly a high point in new old-time music.

Lady Banjo Show + Kids CD Gone Crazy!
The Stairwell Sisters farewell concert was full to bursting, and very bittersweet. Thanks
to all of you who came for one last go round those awesome songs! JUNE 28 at the Freight & Salvage downtown Berkeley, I've curated the Lady Banjo Show
with killer banjoistas and songstresses Molly Tuttle and Emily Bonn & the Vivants, along with my trio with Keith Terry & Erik Pearson.
The previous night is their Accordion Babes Revue, so this show falls right in step. It's time to incubate the next projects:
Old-time band SUPERMODAL and percussive dance group MoToR are both workshopping new music and dance; and the Crosspulse Percussion Ensemble
Kids CD is going gangbusters - with regular airplay on Sirius XM Kids Place Live and other national shows, fantastic reviews all over print

EVIE LADIN BAND MUSIC
ELB was nominated for AMERICANA ALBUM OF THE YEAR by the Independent Music Awards!
Ladin's voice is a revelation. Clear, strong, delicate and emotive all at the same time...her exemplary examples of adult love songs deal with complicated subject matter, yet never lose their swing or get bogged down by maudlin sentimentality. In fact, the music is gorgeous.
--No Depression
This compelling record and her amazing band lineup should finally earn Evie Ladin the reputation she deserves in the folk music world...she has outdone herself this time. --Fiddlefreak
Deliciously quirky...imagine a mash-up of Michelle Shocked and Emmy Lou Harris! --New Times
Her rich and smoky voice resembles Natalie Merchant's, and her songs are as fetching as Nancy Griffith's...they're all catchy,
with mature lyrics and skilled phrasing.
