Unfit Wives

Lawrence, Kansas based &#34;Bitchin&#39; Bluegrass&#34; band, Unfit Wives deliver catchy songs, hot lyrics, feisty four part harmonies and an entertaining show. Accomplished songstress <a href="spotify:artist:6osWFsdfO9F5O82CoyUYE5" data-name="Jenna Rae">Jenna Rae</a> has audiences wrapped around her finger with relatable lyrics, ear-worm hooks, and an unmistakable voice that can cut through even the busiest of crowds. Life-long fiddler, Shannon O’Shea, gives an electrifying, skillful, bluegrass performance along with spirited singing and dancing that keeps fans on their feet. Soulful mandolinist, Monica Greenwood, has a voice that shakes venues off their foundation and songwriting steeped with Louisiana-ragtime flavor, cheeky real-ness, and garnished with a saucy but sweet attitude. Punk-folk bassist, Kahlen Mitchell, hits her stride every show with her slap-style bass playing that also brings percussive excitement to the group’s songs. Folk-n-roll banjo player, Reagan Zagan, brings her expert soloing and incredible range of harmonies to complete band’s perfectly “unfit”, bluegrass sound.

Their original songs incorporate honest emotions of Unfit Wives and the name was inspired by society’s pressure on women to conform to its standards.
