Pickin' in Paristown: Mama Said String Band

Enjoy free Bluegrass as part of the Pickin' In Paristown series on the 3rd Friday of each month. Friday, August 15th, will feature the Mama Said String Band at Christy's Garden from 6-9 pm.

Delivering a refreshing reinvention of sounds once forgotten through their brand of grassroots, Mama Said String Band has been making an impact on the Bluegrass Scene & beyond since their debut in 2016. Based out of Louisville, Kentucky, Mama Said String Band is a four-piece collection of songwriters & players, David O’Neal, Katie “Didit” Caudill, Kaitlen Farmer, and Kris Potts. Each member brings a unique perspective with backgrounds spanning multiple cultures, genres, and styles. Together they draw influences from Bluegrass, Folk, and Americana while focusing on vocal harmonies and contemporary instrumentation to build an eclectic, eurythmic melody and tactfully delivered message.

During their time together, Mama Said has become an instant classic, made a notable impact on the Bluegrass State, grown a large fan base & received numerous awards and nominations such as “Bluegrass artist of the Year”. They have made & continue to make their imprint nationwide as they tour and participate in prominent music festivals.
