Biography

Wicked Sycamore is an all-female trio hailing from the Baltimore/DC area, consisting of Juliette Bell on guitar, Lainie Gray on mandolin, and Madeline Waters on cello. Their sound can be described as contemporary folk with a mischievous edge that is grounded in traditional roots music but branches out into Americana, bluegrass, funk, and jazz. Their original music ranges from fun and light-hearted sing-alongs to deep, introspective tunes for the ages. They combine intricate vocal harmonies with thoughtful arrangement, mood shifts, and story-telling. They are proud to add their voices as both female musicians and songwriters to the modern music landscape.

Wicked Sycamore won the Charm City Bluegrass band competition in 2019 and they were awarded two WAMMIES in 2021 for Best Bluegrass Group/Artist and Best Bluegrass Album (In More Ways Than One) in the DMV-area. Wicked Sycamore has played at festivals such as DelFest, Greyfox Bluegrass Festival, Charm City Bluegrass Festival, Sultana Downrigging Festival, and Annapolis Baygrass Festival, as well as onstage at venues like The Hamilton, The 8X10, Union Stage, The Avalon Theatre, and the Hylton Performing Arts Center at George Mason University.
