SUMMARY:The Red Dirt Girls
DESCRIPTION:Born at the Sherman Song Swap nearly 20 years ago\, The Red Dirt Girls (RDG) are all about harmonies. Inspired by the classic trio work of Emmy Lou Harris\, Linda Ronstadt\, and Dolly Parton\, as well as Red Molly and the Wailin’ Jennys\, these neighbors got together for the sheer joy of singing. Susy Marker and Missy Alexander trade off on the lead vocals and high harmonies. They are the songwriters of the group\, crafting lyrics that are sometimes poignant\, sometimes funny\, and often both. Pat Walker is the chief arranger\, with a perfect ear\, a passion for the unexpected\, and a smoky bass line. Best described as Americana (a blend of country & folk)\, their repertoire is an eclectic mix of original music and unexpected covers. Whether singing around the kitchen table or on local stages\, this trio of friends aspires to share the magic that a perfect chord creates.
