Bluegrass Group Sister Sadie Forges Ahead Following Personnel Changes With New Album ‘No Fear’: ‘We Decided to Keep Going Forward’

The all-female bluegrass group’s new album features a guest appearance by Ashley McBryde.

The group originally formed in December 2012, with a lineup that included Gena Britt, Deanie Richardson, Dale Ann Bradley, Tina Adair and Beth Lawrence. But over the past four years, Sister Sadie has weathered changes both external and internal — from pandemic shutdowns to the exits of group members, including Adair and Bradley. The Sister Sadie members say they are dedicated to forging ahead, even as they balance roles as musicians with other responsibilities including jobs (Richardson works at a bank and Britt at a glasses retailer), school and family.
