Little Miss Dynamite String Band is a new project featuring Kansas City songwriter Beth Watts Nelson. With Beth on guitar, banjo, and vocals, and co-founder Caleb Gardner on guitar, mandolin, and vocals, their six-song EP called Grow Up is a zesty take on what is important in life.

Brandon Day provides solid and interesting bass work and Betse Ellis zips it all together with swirling and swelling fiddle. None of these players are new to the game, with numerous credentials and projects to their names, such as Konza Swamp Band, The Wilders, and The Matchsellers.

The current conglomeration seems simultaneously fresh and well-seasoned with incredible skills by each artist. Bio credit: Cactus Cottage
