Who We Are

Second Wind Bluegrass Band is composed of two delicate ladies of advancing age (aka Wolf and Raven). The duo has a penchant for murder ballads and for the Carter Family. When they first started, they were repeatedly told, “You sound like the Carters.” Continued listening to the Carters brought an appreciation for the songs and the harmonies and a pride in being compared to the first ladies of bluegrass music.

Their songs range from Wildwood Flower to Worried Man Blues, from Angel Band to Long Black Veil. Proficient in everything from 12- and 6-string guitars to mandolins and autoharp, this musical duo sets toes tapping. Their repertoire continues to expand to include songs from the 1700 and 1800s—great tunes like The Two Sisters, Old Joe Clark, In the Pines, John Hardy.
