Bio
The Redbuds got their start in the early in 2012 when siblings Laura & Allie Smith decided to team up with then neighbor and banjo player Virginia Pishioneri to play at a local farmers market. Aware that they knew many of the same songs, the girls played their first gig without practicing together once. What started as an acoustic side project perfect for this outdoor venue quickly turned into something much more serious. While most of their repertoire comes from the Appalachian folk music tradition, they also pull from artists such as Carly Simon, Pete Seeger & the Avett Brothers along with playing a few originals. Blending together guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle with their three part harmonies, the Redbuds have a timeless sound that appeals to every age. While they can still be heard almost every weekend in Clintonville, they have also gotten the opportunity to play at several festivals, including Duck Creek Log Jam in Logan, Ohio, Community Festival in Columbus and the Ohio Chautauqua Festival in Bexley. Then in June of 2013 the girls went into the studio to record their first full length album, which was released October 13th, 2013. So whether they are heard playing at a festival or bar, birthday party or farmers market, The Redbuds music is sure to put a smile on your face and make you nostalgic for a time long before ours.
