Congratulations to The Wooly Mamas, The Deli Nashville’s newest Artist of the Month. The band may have caught your ear once or twice around town, as they have been sharing bills with quite a few other Nashville sluggers: The Daily Howl, Blackfoot Gypsies, and That’s My Kid, to name a few. The Wooly Mamas got their start as a cover band, and built their catalog of originals as the trio outgrew their sets of Tom Waits, Hank Williams and Wilco tunes and sought an outlet for their creativity while maintaining their respect for the classics. It was a very organic, and really, most optimal outcome for a story that starts with ‘three dudes in a cover band-.’ Whether you’re a long-term, devoted fan that threw down a vote on Day 1, or this is the first time that you’ve heard of the trio, one thing has been made clear: they rock hard enough to win this month’s poll. Listen to "Make Sure," one of the two songs they released this past December, then buy them a beer at fooBar on April 26th for being winners. -Terra James-Jura
