​Kansas Folk

Weda Skirts (formerly The Skirts) are a five-piece original acoustic roots band. A vibrant Americana community in Kansas provided a perfect nest for Weda Skirts' unique style. 

With original music by Elexa Dawson at the core of their extensive repertoire, Weda Skirts skillfully craft music that speaks from and to the heart. Their music conveys a conscious mindset and plays an emotionally and spiritually nurturing role in the lives of their family of followers.

Weda Skirts hail from Eastern Kansas. "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. "Weda" is the universal mother, sister, and daughter, a name that reflects their view of the world and a new chapter in their lives and work. These women continue to grow and evolve as a group, keeping originals as the core of their repertoire, but throwing in their home-made renditions of popular rock and folk songs.
