Evie Ladin has joined the Hangout. Evie has been the banjo player for the Stairwell Sisters in the San Francisco/Oakland area. Her driving, highly syncopated style anchored many of the Sisters' tunes. Evie is doing more solo work now involving songwriting, solo performances, square dance calling, clawhammer instruction as well as clogging instruction. Since she has family in the Bloomington, IN, area, I have had the chance to enjoy her live performances. It looks like she'll be back in the Midwest this coming summer.
