Angel Band

“I love Angel Band's wonderfully strong voices and beautiful songs!” —Linda Ronstadt The three women of Angel Band deliver a raw, bluesy, uplifting Americana sound with breathtaking, soul-power impact. Boasting "distinct voices, gorgeous harmonies and extraordinary players" (Elmore Magazine) Angel Band has had a great year: they were Levon Helm's guests at his "Midnight Ramble," kicked off David Bromberg's "Big Noise in the Neighborhood Festival," and were voted one of the top 10 bands at Bonnaroo. Angel Band's frontwoman Nancy Josephson leads her band the same way she lives her life: with abundant creativity and spirit. She has sung backup for Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, and Phoebe Snow and toured with Peter Rowan, Arlo Guthrie, and David Bromberg. She is also a successful "outsider" artist, best known for her extravagantly embellished prize-winning art cars. Her work is in the collections of museums worldwide, including the Smithsonian. The core of the band is held by singers Josephson, Aly Paige, and Kathleen Weber. The crackerjack backup band is: Bobby Tangrea (mandolin, guitar, fiddle), Bob Taylor (bass), and Jeff Wisor (fiddle, mandolin).
