Sunday, January 22nd, come down to IBW Lodge #1 for our second installment in our AMERICANA MUSIC SERIES OF DEBAUCHERY, this time with the wonder GIRLS OF THE GOLDEN WEST playing all original music that call to mind old standards to bend time and delight!

This show is entirely free to you, a gift from IBW and the The Girls of the Golden West.

Here’s some more info on The Girls of the Golden West:

The Girls of the Golden West was one of the first successful female country acts in history and featured the sisters Millie and Dolly Good. They inspired the likes of the Davis Sisters, Jean Shepherd and Patsy Cline by recording and touring throughout the US in post depression America. To reprise her great aunt’s band Marydee needed a ‘Dolly’- a partner— to her “Millie.” Amalea, with her background in Applachian string music and soulful voice, was a perfect fit. You might want to call Marydee and Amalea’s incarnation the ‘New’ Girls of the Golden West. They have been singing together since the country calender show—weaving and blending their voices the way Millie and Dolly did and performing the tunes of the original ‘Girls.’ Now, a decade and a half plus later, this contemporary duo reimagines a reincarnated Girls of the Golden West- with tunes of their own.
