Cradle Switch is a five-piece acoustic Americana group, based in Cambridge, NY. Tunes include originals and a range of songs drawing from bluegrass, country, folk, and a little blues. Singer-songwriters Ferrilyn Sourdiffe and Dave Lawlor swap out guitars for banjo and mandolin, while Kate Ritter brings it on the fiddle, along with some angelic vocal harmonies to add to Ferrilyn and Dave's robust vocals. David Cuite adds some bounce on the upright bass as well as lead and harmony vocals, David Norman throws in some percussion (and has been known to wear his special washboard tie to gigs). On occasion, honorary bandmember and fellow lyricist Chip Macdonald shows up to add a little rhythm on his lobster pot. Cradle Switch released a self-titled CD in September 2017.
