Lulu's Fate performs a mix of music from the Appalachian, southern string band and
country blues traditions, as well as early swing, gospel, original tunes and covers ranging
from Hank Williams to Tom Waits. Comprised of Tom Espinola on mandolin
& guitar, Kristen Jones on cello and singer Kara Bolling, the trio
blends virtuosic instrumentals with lush 3-part vocal harmonies to
create new interpretations of traditional tunes. Lulu's Fate is based in
the Washington DC metro area and has performed at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage, Takoma Park Folk
Festival, Washington Folk Festival, Kingman Island Bluegrass & Folk Festival, Institute of Musical Traditions and
numerous coffeehouses & house concerts throughout the area.
"...Seasoned musical professionals who have created a wonderful niche as a trio...you probably won't hear anything else like it. The gorgeous lead vocals are supported by the smartly-performed harmonies and a mix of cello and guitar."
