Nobody's Darlin'

About Me

Welcome to Nobody's Darlin' on Myspace!
We are an all-girl string band based in Grand Rapids, MI. We specialize in Old Timey, Bluegrass, and Gospel. Sometimes we also throw in some classic country tunes just for fun. Lots of songs about Drinkin', Dyin', and Jesus!
The band was started in the summer of 2004 by Sarah Jane, and has since been warming hearts and making people smile.
Watching a performance by Nobody’s Darlin’ conjures up the essence of a simpler time, before electric guitars and pyrotechnics. The sound of Nobody’s Darlin’ strong female voices meld fluidly over acoustic instruments that resonate true string instrument tones.
We love old theaters, new boots, good wine, great conversation, old songs, new friends, long drives in the country, short walks in the city, old movies, new lipstick, nice-fitting jeans, laughter, good food, dogs, cats, festivals of any kind, cold beer, free sandwiches, senior citizens, new babies, gourmet coffee, going barefoot (except Janet), and obviously making music.
Turn offs include; bad guitar cables, warm beer, surly sound guys, cigarette smoke, bananna flavored anything, running out of hairspray, pantyhose that are too tight, getting up to go to work, onstage wardrobe malfunctions, enchilada pie, and bad hair days.
There are only a few copies left at cdbaby.com!
