Damsel Fly is an amazingly talented, all-female, teenage folk quartet from Decorah, IA. Their heart-swelling, four-part harmonies induce chills, warm feelings, and collective healing in all who are fortunate enough to experience them. The group's lethal combo of youth & sheer talent is less perplexing when one considers that they are the daughters of a few of Decorah's more progressive and musically-oriented families. The band consists of Kasi Misseldine on mandolin, Rose Reed-Maxfield on cello and bass, Ingrid Rotto on guitar, and Ida Rotto on banjo.
While Damsel Fly largely performs music written by others, their selections are always in good taste and their arrangements are incredibly unique. Many of their covers are of traditional folk songs or familiar classics from acts like the Beatles or Simon & Garfunkle. I had the pleasure of doing sound for the young women at last month's KDEC Open Stage Night at T-Bock's in Decorah and was able to record a video of their last song, which I have posted below. Best wishes to Damsel Fly and their bright musical future. Word on the street is that they are looking for performance opportunities within the greater Driftless Region.
