The Dixie Red Delights

The Dixie Red Delights are a new gathering of some of Vermonts most talented musicians. Weaving a tapestry of sound around the formidable songwriting and vocals skills of Erin McDermott, the Delights create a unique sound of infectiously soaked firegrass, steeped in rural Americana and ensconced in alt-country rock.



Featuring the original music of Erin McDermott, who has shared the stage with likes of Grammy Award winner Tim OBrien and cult favorites Railroad Earth, Erin has a song for every occasion that spans every genre and age group. Local legend Doug Perkins, the best flat-picker north of the red states and east of the Mississippi, adds a lush musical landscape to the Delights with his amazing ear for a melody and his fiery precision on anything with strings. Bass player Jen Wells accompanies the Delights with her rhythmically creative and jubilant bass lines. Jen has a vast knowledge of the music, which adds yet another layer to the Delights sound. Ben Roy is the finest young talent on drums here in Vermont. With impeccable timing and marvelously exciting rhythms, Ben is a true &147;animal&148;. Sitting in on Mandolin is the talented and inspiring Matt Schrag. Hailing all the way from the southern State of Virginia, Matt has a way of conveying the most subtle yet dynamic leads on his instrument. A true Delight
