History
The inception of The Ladybirds occurred when Jaxon Lee Swain and Sarah Teeple crossed paths in Bloomington, Indiana, connecting through their shared appreciation for classic R&B and Americana styles. After moving to Louisville, they expanded the group by bringing in Max Balliet and later securing Brett Holsclaw as their consistent drummer.
Initially envisioned as a revivalist girl-group reminiscent of The Shangri-Las, their musical style blends elements of surf, rockabilly, doo-wop, and vintage bubblegum pop. Since September 2011, The Ladybirds have been actively touring across the Midwest, Southern states, and East Coast to promote their album Shimmy Shimmy Dang!
