Our Story
About
Harmony. Heritage. Heart.
Named after a traditional foot-stomping fiddle tune, Sugar in the Gourd is every bit as lively and soulful.
The band blends beautifully crafted original songs that explore life's full range — from trains and drinking songs to love, redemption, and even a conversation with God. This all-female Americana and roots band brings together diverse backgrounds and songwriting talents to create a sound both timeless and captivating.
Listeners will enjoy their rich three- and four-part harmonies, dynamic interplay, and intuitive musicianship on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass, banjo and percussion. Whether delivering a slinky blues number, an original swing tune, or a blazing bluegrass barn-burner, these five women will have everyone up and dancing before the show is over.
