Dear MariBella and the Pigkickers are a 4-piece bluegrass sibling band born and raised near Wilmington, NC. The band was formed in 2021 by the siblings when they decided that there was no reason not to! The band is composed of Isabella on the fiddle, AnnMari on the guitar, Pete on the banjo and Chris on the mandolin. This group is set to serenade your soul with their harmonious melodies and foot stomping fun. With music rooted deeply in the Blue Ridge Mountains and feet planted firmly in the Carolina sand, their style is not just a sound, but a journey through family ties and tradition. Catch a live show and get ready to be swept off your feet as they infuse their performances with a blend of music, faith, kinship, and a whole lot of heart. 

Join them in celebrating their debut album release, by streaming their EP, Magnolia, on all streaming networks. The band is blessed to have been selected to perform on the IBMA World of Bluegrass youth stage in 2024! Make sure to get tickets for their upcoming show at Wilmington’s only listening room, Live at Ted’s.
