Sassafras Folk String Band

Sassafras Folk String Band offers crowd-pleasing entertainment with tight vocal harmonies and lively instrumentation. This talented all-girl string band specializes in folk music, both old-timey and contemporary, and an exciting mix of Celtic, Bluegrass and Blues. Sassafras has captivated audiences of all ages for over 10 years with their vibrant harmonies and a sassy mix of guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass.
Candice Kempton plays the fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. She feels very lucky to have found such great friends to perform music with. Whenever possible, she loves spending time with her children and grandchildren. She teaches fiddle, violin and mandolin and loves it!
Genet Brown adds a unique spark to the group with her awesome bass playing, beautiful voice and fun personality. Genet also plays the piano, organ, clarinet and dulcimer, but her basses are her passion!
Kristen Day is a graduate of Violin Performance and Pedagogy at BYU. She uses her experience to teach others the joy of music through private violin instruction. Her husband and four adorable children keep her busy when she’s not fiddlin’,
Marianne Sidwell uses performing as therapy, playing her guitar and singing is much cheaper and more fun! She plays folk fife, dulcimer and likes to pick up other random instruments just because. She comes from a musical family and also enjoys performing in musical theater. She loves being with her husband and four children.
Betty Leishman picked up the banjo while her children were young and hasn’t put it down since. She has played claw-hammer-style banjo for the past 20 years, along with harmonica, guitar, and bodhran. She has played with a variety of folk groups, accompanied choirs and stage productions, adding the sound of the banjo anywhere it is needed – which, of course, is everywhere!!!
