Music at the Museum presents Ida Mae Specker

Ida Mae Specker is a fiddler, singer and songwriter from Andover, Vermont who makes old-time music for modern times. A member of family band The Speckers, Terrible Mountain Stringband, and The Break Maids, Ida Mae also tours under her own name as a soloist, and with a full backing band. On stage, Ida Mae fuses original, contemporary, and traditional material, bringing heartfelt new life and relevance to the chain of American folk music. Specker’s EP of original music, ‘Billy in the Heartland,’ was released in December 2019, featuring her wild-eyed fiddling and powerful vocals with a rock n’ roll heartbeat. Performing solo at Bennington Museum is a meaningful journey back to her roots for Specker, whose ancestors immigrated to Bennington in 1908 from Poland and Lithuania.
