CD release “The Golden West,” concert for Grammy winner Laurie Lewis.

“I would certainly say she's one of the top five female artists of the last 30 years.” Dan Hays, Executive Director, IBMA.
Twice named Female Vocalist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, Laurie Lewis has invented her own exciting blend of bluegrass, folk and country. Sam Bush describes the phenomenon produced by this soft-spoken, sweet-singing California fiddler, singer and songwriter as "...Newgrass in the truest sense of the word, in that she uses bluegrass instruments to create new original music: it's music for now." Tom Rozum, Todd Phillips, Craig Smith and Scott Huffman round out her lineup, and are truly her Right Hands.
