(Chelsea Update would like to thank Joanne Ladio for the information in this story.)
The Moxie Strings will perform for the last time in east Michigan on Thursday, Nov. 16.
Diana Ladio (fiddle) is a Chelsea High graduate and proud alum of The Chelsea House Orchestra. CHO definitely gave Diana the performance bug and, almost since graduating, she has played music professionally. Most of those years have been as the fiddle half of The Moxie Strings.
The duo has toured in Michigan and nationally for 17½ years, picking up enthusiastic fans wherever they go. Many in Diana’s hometown know Moxie and come out when they are able to play locally. This is to let those fans who may not know that The Moxie Strings are saying farewell to the music world as a band.
While they love playing and performing and are best friends, they’ve decided to explore other options and close on a positive note.
The Moxie Strings will perform at The Ark on Main Street in Ann Arbor at 8 pm on Nov. 16. Some tickets are still available so if you’d like one more chance to enjoy their fun, foot-tapping, original music, please come out.
