Lily May Ledford (March 17, 1917 – July 14, 1985) was an American clawhammer banjo and fiddle player.[1] After gaining regional radio fame in the late 1930s as head of the Coon Creek Girls, one of the first all-female string bands to appear on radio, Ledford went on to gain national renown as a solo artist during the American folk music revival of the 1960s. In 1985, she was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship.[2]
