Weda Skirts are a 5-piece bluegrass-adjacent vocal group with a devout following in their home state of Kansas. Since 2008, they have charmed audiences with their soaring harmonies, danceable rhythms, and folky style. They continue to grow and evolve as a group, keeping originals as the core of their repertoire, but throwing in their homemade renditions of popular rock and folk songs. Formerly "The Skirts", "Weda" was added in 2019 to confuse and confound their fan base.

History:
"The Skirts" were born when former Elexa & The Hitchhikers members Elexa Dawson and Melissa Tastove joined with their friend Sarah Bays, who had recently taken up the upright bass in the summer of '09. Emily Wilson was quick to join them on mandolin. Rachel Allai was added the night before she recorded "Many Moons", The Skirts' first full-length studio album with her fiddle. The group recorded their second album, Mother in 2017. At the beginning of 2019, they reintroduced themselves as Weda Skirts.
