FROM COUSIN ANDY'S COFFEEHOUSE: "THE CHILD BEHIND MY EYES":
NANCI GRIFFITH'S WING & THE WHEEL: I TAPED THIS OF MIKE FARRIS PERFORMING "GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME" at AMERICANA ASSOCIATION PORTER WAGONER TRIBUTE OCT. 31, 2007... THIS IS SOUL FOOD FOR SURE, BE SURE TO WATCH UNTIL THE END: MANUEL DELGADO MAKING MY BEAUTIFUL BARITONE UKULELE "LILIANA": ..
Laurie McClain moved to Nashville, TN, in 1997 with three daughters in tow after spending most of her life in Lincoln, Nebraska. She has managed to make name for herself as a formidable songwriter and engaging performer on the national folk & Americana scene while raising her children, therefore touring only sparsely & sporadically around the U.S. for the last 20 years. Now that her children are all raised, she is ready to embark on a full time music adventure and is currently booking across the US.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LAURIE:
"Laurie has got to be from another planet. I've never met anyone - except maybe Richie Havens - who is so open-hearted and full of love for humanity, yet who appears to experience life on a different plane than everybody else. Her music is as innocent as it is informed by experience, as playful as it is rooted, and as detail-oriented as it is grand in scope. Lucky for the rest of us, she's translated her Earthly experience onto record, and called it Ascend." - DEVON SPROULE
"Laurie's voice sinks in quickly and starts to hear; her songs go deep and they stay with you." - SUZY BOGGUSS
“Laurie turns each venue into her living room and each listener into a new friend with her disarming humor and passionate performance. Her songs explore themes of identity, growth, friendship and love in a way that always honors the fundamental mysteries of the human journey. In this Mecca of songwriters, she is a gem of uniqueness and authenticity.” –JM KEARNS
Regarding The Trumpet Vine, a Tribute to Kate Wolf:
"Kate Wolf's classic California folk music is lovingly and soulfully praised and preserved in this fabulous tribute record." PUREMUSIC.COM
"...An incredible performance with her songs. Sometimes it is very jolting to hear someone do another songwriter's songs. You first reaction is to compare the performer to the songwriter... We must be honest with you, we were moved in a way that was not expected. Thank you so much for a wonderful cd."
ROZ & HOWARD LARMAN, FOLKSCENE, KPFK, LOS ANGELES
"A really, really lovely grouping of Kate Wolf tunes, and so well sung and arranged. This will be played here for some time to come, I can assure you."
RIK JAMES, KGLT FM, BOZEMAN, MT
