Nice appearance by SHEL on a local morning show from a recent trip to Austin.

Three voices + two top hats + one mandolin =

Here's a couple featuring Rebecca Lovell (one of my favorite mandolin players):

I liked that last vid from Larkin Poe. Thanks for posting, Ed. Nothing like the natural reverb you get in the bathroom. Those kids have talent. It helps to have the vocal chops to go along with the mando chops.

I posted this in the "Mandolins in the visual art", but it qualifies also for the "Women with mandolins" thread.

A "Woman with mandolin" painting drawn for me by the talented Bulgarian artist Alexandrina Karadjova.

That is really great. I looked at the other art work by Karadjova on her site, and, to my taste, yours is better than all of them. Perhaps because I am closer to the subject and can relate to the moment.

If and when I might have some discretional resources, I can see commissioning a mandolin themed piece. There are much more ridiculous ways to spend money.

Just beautiful.

[Plamen Ivanov]

Thanks, Jeff! This is my second attempt for commissioning a woman with mandolin painting. While the first was not very successful, i'm pretty happy with this one.

Best,
Plamen

Here's some friends of mine, The Missy Werner Band with Missy on mandolin, Artie Werner on bass, Tim Strong on guitar and Jeff Roberts on banjo:

My wife's first career was as an artist. She has since moved into the field of Law, but she has recently been getting back to her first love; her art. She got ahold of a little sketch book and is doing these little freehand sketches to brush off the cobwebs. She usually uploads them to her blog on a weekly basis. Some are better than others, but this one had a special little twist to it...

See on Facebook it's Eva's birthday.

[Max Girouard]

Tonight we did a presentation on mandolin building and music at our local library. It was a great success. Here is my lovely wife, Lauri, displaying from "tree to mandolin". She did a talk on sanding, staining and finishing.

Here are some more friends of mine, "Ma Crow and the Lady Slippers". Ma Crow-Guitar, Trina Emig-Mandolin, Margie Drees-Fiddle and Vicki Abbott-Bass

See on Facebook it's Eva's birthday.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why more people don't know about Eva and her sisters.

[Rodney Riley]

Saw this on SHEL's facebook page... Wouldn't ya like to hear them play together for an hour or two?

Sierra Hull and Eva Holbrook

Ashley Broder with ... a mandocaster?

Anyone know the story?

[f5loar]

don't know the story but would have liked to have known the story 40 years ago!

[JeffD]

Ashley Broder is excellent!! And a first rate person I hear. Here is a good clip. Please ignore the obnoxious introduction.

Maybe someone wants to bid on this. Winged Angel with Mandolin.

mandolin and fiddle make a very interesting duo - don't know why i was expecting it to not work as well as this does - really good

[Bertram Henze]

don't know why i was expecting it to not work as well as this does

I know. Normally, two instruments occupying the same pitch range step on each other's toes (the Pauli principle of music) and leave the rest of the range empty.
But these two play very different parts and fully exploit the pitch range of their instruments, therefore conflict and boredom are avoided.
Very funny listening if you know the tunes, though it would make hardheaded traditionalists turn away in disgust, because some of the genuine feeling is replaced by virtuosity.

[Rodney Riley]

(No Mando content) When you mention two instruments not working together. I was told violin and harp doesn't. These two do a fine job I think.

[Bertram Henze]

That is definitely bunk - the harp takes the role of the piano, only more beautifully. And how many duets of piano and violin are out there...

That's kinda what I thought. The lady that made the statement plays the harp and her husband plays the violin... Oh!!! Now I get it....duh!
