Another side of...
JOE LaMAY & SHERRI REESE are an accomplished Americana folk music duo whose heartfelt performances blend traditional folk, bluegrass, old-time country, and original Americana songwriting. Performing together since 1998, they have built a musical partnership rooted in rich storytelling, close harmonies, acoustic instrumentation, and a deep appreciation for America’s musical heritage.
Joe LaMay, a songwriter and guitarist, began writing songs in the 1970s and spent years performing at coffeehouses and festivals throughout the Northeast and Midwest. His songwriting reflects a lifelong love of folk music and the artists and traditions that helped shape American roots music.
Sherri Reese brings a lifetime of bluegrass and traditional country influences to the duo. Raised in a musical family, she grew up listening to the sounds of the Carter Family, the Stanley Brothers, Doc Watson, and other roots music pioneers. Her expressive vocals, banjo playing, and original songs add warmth and authenticity to their sound.
Together, Joe and Sherri create engaging performances that balance timeless traditional favorites with thoughtful, original songs. Their music celebrates everyday people, rural traditions, love, history, and the stories that connect generations. Their songwriting has also found its way into the repertoires of other folk singers and bluegrass musicians.
Since 2004, LaMay & Reese have been contributing monthly music segments to Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble radio show, heard throughout the northeast on PBS and worldwide on the web. Their segments feature songs and musicians they know and meet in their travels on the road.
JOE & SHERRI perform as a duo or as a quartet with long-time bandmates Laurie Leenhouts on fiddle and John Stevens on bass.
