Singer, songwriter, bassist, and published author Laura Love has thousands of fans throughout North America, Australia and Europe. Billboard Magazine continually includes her CDs on their annual top ten lists, and the first time she performed on the East Coast was at Carnegie Hall. Laura is a rare recording artist - authentic and deeply rooted, with an extremely diverse appeal. Her management, publicists, record labels and the media all struggle to define Laura’s style. She is an African-American funk bassist with an astonishing voice, who is equally influenced by blues and bluegrass, jazz, folk, gospel, reggae and country. Laura has spent her career hitching rides at the intersection of folk melodies from the British Isles and the rhythms of Africa. With her band, HarpersFerry, she sharpens her point that African-Americans were often part of the mÈlange that has come to be known as American Folk Music. In concert, Laura plays tunes that roam from her heartfelt originals to traditional spirituals to Civil Rights anthems to revved up bluegrass tunes. Laura sometimes refers to her style as “folk-funk”, “Afro-Celtic” or “hip-Alachian”. Regardless of how she is described, Laura has an uncanny ability to get her audience to listen beyond their own musical boundaries. Expect to hear everything from Laura’s soulful “Saskatchewan,” an intimate account of what life might have been like for her great-grandmother as she was being released from slavery, to Mollie’s barn-burning rendition of Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally.” If you have an appreciation for folk, jazz, R&B, bluegrass, and country, if you love superb vocals, if you can’t get enough of excellent guitar picking, and if you love to laugh, you can’t miss this not-likely-to-be-repeated anytime soon show!
