Finding Her Voice: Women in Early Country Music
FINDING HER VOICE: WOMEN IN EARLY COUNTRY MUSIC
Berkshire-based roots musician Paula Bradley (vocals, guitar, banjo) brings stories and songs of women in early country music, highlighting their often-overlooked contributions to America's rich musical legacy, to Jacob Edwards Library, 236 Main St., Southbridge MA, Thursday, June 11, 6:30 PM-7:30 PM. Admission to the concert is free and open to the public. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Southbridge Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
A West Virginia-born multi-instrumentalist residing in the Berkshires, Paula Bradley has been involved in old-time and roots music for many years. Known for her strong, spirited vocals, she has toured (on banjo) with old-time darlings "Uncle Earl"; with old-time powerhouse Bruce Molsky (on guitar and banjo uke); and with Tony Trischka and Bruce as part of the acoustic roots trio "Jawbone". She was a founding member of the popular New England honkytonk combo (on piano and vocals) "Girl Howdy,” and with her late husband, Bill Dillof, the old time duet “Moonshine Holler.” She currently leads her own popular honky tonk/country swing combo “Miss Paula & The Twangbusters" and pursues many musical side projects. Paula is also an on-demand traditional music instructor and has been on staff at music camps including Swannanoa Gathering, Mars Hill, Winter Village Music, Augusta Heritage and Ashokan.
