Dev'lish Mary

About Me

DEVLISH MARY are Ruth Hazleton (Kate Burke & Ruth Hazleton, The Horses Leotard), Liz Frencham (Jigzag, Frencham/Smith), Sally Taylor (Flap!, Triskel), and Cat Moser (The Beenies, Conundrum).All members are old-time, bluegrass and western swing junkies from way back, and their interpretation of hillbilly and American roots music is red hot. Line up includes twin fiddles, bull-fiddle, guitar and clawhammer banjo.Wah Hey... bring yer horse, saddle, dancin' shoes and a spare pair of socks... oh, and an apple in case you get hungry... and a tissue in case you get a runny nose...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
