that’s exactly why we formed Della Mae—
to get more young women into music.
There are a lot of young men who are
encouraged to take solos, to be
musicians, to go off and do this thing,
whereas women aren’t as encouraged to do
that. And when they don’t have these role
models to look up to on the stage, then
they’re twice as likely not to start a band,
not to take a solo, not to go out on their
own. So just the fact that these young
people can see us up there is almost half
the battle.
WinterWonderWomen is a reflection of
what sets WinterWonderGrass apart from
other festivals. By breaking stereotypes
within the genre of bluegrass and
facilitating an authentic community
experience for artists and fans alike, the
women are leading the pack to transform
music festival culture.
Presiding over the entire experience will
be Bridget Law and the talented cast of
WinterWonderWomen, who believe in the
power of music to strengthen community
and to catalyze progress in our society.
As Wonder Woman herself says in the
classic DC comic: “No matter how small
an act of kindness or generosity or simple
positivity you put out into the world, it will
make a difference.”
