The interaction between the two musicians is as much a feature of their shows as is the world-class guitar playing that they both display.

The Band Combines Classic Country, Swing, Honky Tonk and Old-Time Music For Their Unique Take on American Roots Music

Della Mae is touring in support of their new release on Rounder Records:

Della Mae - This World Oft Can Be
Release Date: May 28, 2013

In a relatively short period of time, Della Mae has become a sensation in the music world. Commanding a powerful collective chemistry with vocal, instrumental, and songwriting talent to spare, the Boston-based combo mines time-honored elements to create music that's unmistakably fresh and contemporary. 

Fiddler Joel Savoy has been a driving force in the Cajun renaissance of the new millennium. Founder of the multi-GRAMMY-nominated label Valcour Records and the acclaimed Red Stick Ramblers, Savoy is equally at home playing the old twin-fiddling of Cajun masters like Dennis McGee, as he is playing swing or honky tonk.

Taking the stage with him is Cajun legend Jesse Lége on accordion and vocals. A genius on the Cajun accordion and a wonderful singer, Jesse has won every award a Cajun musician can win from the Cajun French Music Association. He was recently inducted into the Cajun Music Hall of Fame, and he's written songs that have become standards in the traditional repertoire, perhaps an artists greatest aspiration in traditional folk music. 

“One of the earliest of British blues bands, Savoy Brown, with founder guitarist Kim Simmonds at the helm, helped launch the 1967 UK blues boom movement that brought blues music back to the USA invigorating the style forever. In the process, the band became part of the framework that launched the rock and roll music of the 1970’s. Their influence now stretches into modern rock as we know it today.”

Guy Davis is a bluesman who's ready to enlighten young people with the vibrant storytelling kind-of-music that's deeply rooted in American culture."
