Coon Creek Girls

31 fans

The Coon Creek Girls, an all-female Appalachian folk music string band, were formed in 1937 by John Lair for his Renfro Valley Barn Dance show. The original lineup included sisters Lily May and Rosie Ledford from Powell County, Kentucky, along with Esther "Violet" Koehler from Indiana, Evelyn "Daisy" Lange from Ohio, and Norma Madge Mullins from Renfro Valley, Kentucky. Their first performance took place at Cincinnati Music Hall. In March 1938, they recorded their debut album with Vocalion Records, featuring songs like "Little Birdie" and "Pretty Polly". The band gained significant recognition when they performed at the White House for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the King and Queen of England on June 8, 1939. In November 1939, Daisy and Violet left the group, reducing it to a trio consisting of the Ledford sisters until their disbandment in 1957. The Coon Creek Girls inspired many musicians such as Suzanne Edmunson and Cathy Fink.
