RUDE GIRLS were born to sing and play together. They sing real songs about real people and perform these ballads with electrifying vocal harmonies that will lift you right out of your chair!
Lyn Hardy (lead vocals, guitar), Selma Kaplan (piano, vocals) and Diane Sanabria (5 string & tenor banjos, guitar, vocals) are each accomplished and versatile musicians. Together they create a powerful explosion of joyful music and silliness which encourages audiences to cast off the chains of "niceness" and indulge their rude urges!
RUDE GIRLS bring a unique sense of drama and wickedly funny repartee to the stage. A typical concert includes wonderful renditions of the GIRLS' favorite classic country gems, mountain ballads, contemporary songs, original material and snappy banjo tunes. Their warm humor, outstanding musicianship and great songs about life, love and strong women are sure to leave the crowd thinking, laughing, and singing!

"Rude Girl's focus on women's concerns, world peace and other social issues is direct and to the point. Their down to earth humor, excellent musicianship and a hint of cabaret-style theatricality make them crowd pleasers."
