Maddy SmithMaddy grew up playing classical violin and was lured into the world of folk music when she discovered Sacred Harp singing in a college American music history class. This was a slippery slope; one thing led to another, and she is now an avid old-time fiddle/banjo/guitar player, contra dancer and dance musician, playing with Philadelphia-based contra band Filament and femme folk outfit Cornflower Jam. She holds a music education degree from the University of Central Florida and spends her weekdays teaching Pre-K-5th grade music at Plymouth Meeting Friends School, which she enjoys immensely.
