Morwenna Lasko & Jay Pun
Bio

Morwenna Lasko & Jay Pun defy the boundaries of acoustic music. Hailing from Charlottesville, VA, this duo has more raw talent and natural style than you ever thought was possible. Infusing style from World, Jazz, Folk, Funk, and many more that it's almost impossible to mention here. This duo is far beyond any type of group that's out right now. Currently hard at work on their sophomore effort, 2008 will definitely be a year to remember. The duo is working to bring more of their band sound but still remaining true to all of their influences. Don't be out of the loop and make sure you know what's up with this incredible duo.

"A musical dance between two lovers of music , a romance written in notes...with never a need of a voice...only the tips of their fingers and the smiles on their friendly faces...."-RobinElla

"Charlottesville has always been a great place for music and Morwenna & Jay are definitely proving that, they're great."-Darol Anger

"When Lasko and Pun are on stage together, their chemistry and sound is irresistible."-Andrew Leahey (C-ville Weekly- Aug'04).


With the release of their debut album, Etopia, Morwenna and Jay put together their individual unique sounds and have found their collective groove. These gifted musicians will take your breath away and leave you begging for more.

Together they have shared shows with such great acts as Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Frank Vignola Quintet, Darol Anger, Corey Harris, RobinElla, Dave Matthews Band, Hackensaw Boys, Avett Brothers, Dr. Ralph Stanley, to name a few.

Guitars Not Guns Virginia is expanding to DC and Maryland!!! YAY!

This means they need more guitars and more volunteers! If you want to help, please let us know if you're interested in volunteering by sending a message, or donate money (GNG could really use both donations and volunteers) by clicking on the Donate Now Button at http://www.guitarsnotguns.org/virginiaDocuments/ViewVASponsors.htm

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
