Celia Woodsmith, of Grammy Nominated bluegrass band Della Mae, and Chris Hersch of alt country rock band Girls, Guns & Glory, have joined forces in Say Darling, a gutsy ensemble with country, R&B, and blues at its core.

Grammy Nominated singer and songwriter Celia Woodsmith, of the acclaimed bluegrass band Della Mae, and critically praised guitarist Chris Hersch of the alt country rock band Girls Guns & Glory formed Say Darling, the band they always wanted, when both tenures with these international touring acts came to a close.

Blending distinctive original songs with classic tunes that pay homage to a shared musical heritage, Say Darling evokes the funky drive of Little Feat, the moving vocals of Bonnie Raitt and the instrumental prowess of the Tedeschi-Trucks. With country, R & B, and Blues at its core, this gutsy ensemble rocks out — embracing its roots yet keeping its feet firmly in the here-and-now. The band’s first and latest recording is the self-titled EP, Say Darling.
