What began as an all-female festival collaboration quickly morphed into a serious passion project driven by sisterhood, harmony and humor -
along with the shared desire to rage fiddle tunes and smash the patriarchy. |

Formed in late 2021, the band gained quick notoriety for their charismatic stage presence and their vocal / instrumental prowess. After selling out all of their club shows, Big Richard quickly started confirming festival appearances across America. This year is shaping up to be one huge year.

"Several points can be taken away from seeing these proficient individuals {BIG RICHARD]. Their intoxicating chemistry, accentuated by a palpable kindred dynamic of balanced seriousness and triviality is a breath of fresh air. The delivery is authentic, and they easily pull their audience into their world, where they are celebrating life itself, their accomplishments, and enjoying the ride all the way through. They honor the good names that have influenced them and bring enough unique style to their readings that even if the tune is a common cover, anyone paying attention can easily recognize their sincere infusion of creativity and a drive to make it their own. Although some might consider their banter crass, referencing the obvious connection between their name and genitalia, these amorphous angels aren’t trying to sell anything but rather ascending themselves and the audience to a place free from conformity and expectation. Instead, the goal is a good time shared and to leave the venue, whether listener or performer with a soul full of laughter and a little more joy in the heart."
