With Rick Scott and Joe Mock, Ulrich played violin, flute, sax and sang for the oddball trio The Pied Pumkin String Ensemble who managed to record two albums between 1974 and 1976. By the end of 1976 she was recruited for Valdy's touring band which would evolve into the Hometown Band. Album three, 'Talk Around Town', was done the same way but this time in Los Angeles for MCA Records, US and resulted in another Juno nomination. Ulrich reunited with her old Pied Pumkin mates twice - once in 1988 for the release of 'The Lost Squash Tapes' and in 1998 to release a retrospective album, 'Plucking DeVine' where the band did 20 live dates in Western Canada. The response from audiences was so overwhelming that the act will tour again in May and June of 1999.
