Damsel Fly Perform at The Cookery in Door County

Damsel Fly will be playing in The Cookery’s wine bar on July 11 at 8 pm. Damsel Fly is an amazingly talented, all-female, teenage folk quartet from Decorah, Iowa.

The group’s lethal combo of youth and sheer talent is less perplexing when one considers that they are the daughters of a few of Decorah’s progressive and musically-oriented families. The band consists of Kasi Misseldine on mandolin, Rose Reed-Maxfield on cello and bass, Ingrid Rotto on guitar, and Ida Rotto on banjo. The girls performed their first concert when they were 10 years old.

Damsel Fly largely performs music written by others, their selections always in good taste and their arrangements are incredibly unique. Many of their covers are of traditional folk songs or familiar classics from acts like the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, The Wailin’ Jennies, and James Taylor.

The Cookery’s wine bar is open daily until midnight and is located at 4135 Highway 42, Fish Creek.
