Sister Sadie is a force to be reckoned with in the bluegrass genre and beyond. Formed serendipitously during a one-off jam session at Nashville’s legendary Station Inn, the group’s undeniable chemistry transformed a casual collaboration into a full-time powerhouse.
Today, Sister Sadie is celebrated for their electrifying performances, stellar musicianship and the seamless blend of tradition and innovation they bring to bluegrass music. The band is composed of six supremely talented musicians, each with a rich history of individual achievements that elevate the collective magic of Sister Sadie.
Sister Sadie has released three critically acclaimed albums. Their debut, Sister Sadie (2016), introduced their masterful musicianship to the world, while Sister Sadie II (2018) solidified their reputation as one of the leading acts in bluegrass. That release, Sister Sadie II, was a watershed moment, earning a Grammy nomination for “Best Bluegrass Album.”
The band has also claimed the IBMA Vocal Group of the Year award three times, in 2019, 2020 and 2021, highlighting their exceptional harmonies and innovative arrangements, as well as Entertainer of the Year in 2020.
In 2024, Sister Sadie released their long-awaited third release, No Fear, marking a triumphant return for Sadie, blending their bold artistry with the energy and resilience that have defined the group through the years.
From “Diane,” a spirited country cover debuted at the IBMA Awards in 2023 to the chart-topping, Ashley McBryde-written “Willow,” No Fear has proven that Sister Sadie is stronger than ever, showcasing deep artistry and a fearless spirit that makes them a leading voice in bluegrass today - and ultimately presented the band with their second Grammy nomination, once again for “Best Bluegrass Album.”
Whether performing at the Grand Ole Opry, headlining major festivals or recording award-winning albums, Sister Sadie exemplifies the spirit of bluegrass while pushing its boundaries. Their commitment to storytelling, technical prowess and heartfelt performances ensures they remain at the forefront of the genre.
With a shared passion for their craft and a dedication to excellence, Sister Sadie is more than a band—they are a movement, carrying the torch for bluegrass music into the future while honoring its rich traditions.
