"In addition to coming from a powerful music family (she’s a fifth-generation fiddler), Kimber Ludiker is also one of the best known ambassadors of bluegrass today. Through her work with her all-female bluegrass band Della Mae and her work overseas with the U.S. State Department, Ludiker’s been a voice for reason, pushing for more diversity and inclusiveness in bluegrass. A dedicated sidewoman in bluegrass, she’s keen to improve opportunities for women who aren’t bandleaders in bluegrass."
