There was no master plan. No label strategy. Just a spontaneous jam at Nashville’s Station Inn between a few friends—seasoned players, all women, making a little noise. But something clicked. The room lit up, the crowd roared, and Sister Sadie was born.
What started as an accidental band became a force. GRAMMY-nominated. IBMA-decorated. Opry-validated. But for all the accolades, they were often reduced to one line: an all-female bluegrass band. True—but never the point. Sister Sadie has always been about the music. The fire. The truth.
Their new album, All Will Be Well, is that truth—loud, fearless, and free. You’ll hear echoes of bluegrass, but what rises is something bigger: country with claws, Americana with muscle, gospel grit and raw storytelling.
From the haunting “Prodigal Daughter” to the swagger of “Do What You Want” and the aching beauty of “If I Don’t Have You,” these six women are not performing roles—they’re telling you who they are.
This is Sister Sadie, evolved: bold, bonded, and braver than ever. They're not asking for space. They're taking it.
And they’re just getting started.

The Smith College Department of Theatre presents Merry Me by Hansol Jung, directed by Lynne Marie Rosenberg. On an island not far away from the vulnerable coasts of the enemy state, a mysterious blackout has left the Navy restless and itching for action. Lieutenant Shane Horne has occupied her time satisfying the libidinous needs of all the women on the base – including the jealous general’s wife. But her own merries will not… come. Meanwhile, a famed Angel re-descends to amend her previous prophesy, sending the Navy’s psychiatrist on an epic quest to save humanity. Will the general discover the affair? Will the earth be saved? Will they ever be merry enough? Tickets $5-15 at smitharts.ludus.com. Free for Smith students.

Corey Harris is a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter who has carved out a singular place in contemporary blues. Rooted in tradition yet boldly expansive, his music weaves together blues, reggae, soul, rock, and West African influences.

King, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, Tracy Chapman, Wilco, and the Dave Matthews Band. He was featured in Martin Scorsese’s film Feel Like Going Home and received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2007.

Opening the evening is Sunny Lowdown, a master of slide guitar known for deep grooves, slow-burning blues, and a raw, hypnotic sound. A Blues Blast Music Award nominee and winner of the Vermont Blues Challenge, Lowdown brings an understated, powerful approach focused on tone, phrasing, and feel.

Co-sponsored by the Vermont Blues Society.
