Della Mae: “Ohio”
Bluegrass powerhouse plays a great version of the Neil Young classic.
What a killer show from the Della Mae powerhouse at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California, in September. They kicked it off with a fun open jam coordinated by the California Bluegrass Association, and everyone had a blast picking with Kimber Ludiker, Avril Smith, Celia Woodsmith, and Vickie Vaughn, generous and encouraging jam partners, all of them. Then the Dellas hit the stage with their awesome playing, songwriting, and harmonies. In this video, Della Mae shows their other superpower, mentoring and supporting talented young players, inviting Sophia Sparks to sit in on this great take of Neil Young’s “Ohio.” Thanks for all the fun, Della Mae!
