“Laurie has strong and diverse singing, teaching, performing and composing skills. She is also committed to music in a way I have rarely seen. She wants songs and improvisation. She wants to build community and ensembles that work together. She has her heart right on her sleeve and isn’t shy to be in the light and generously bring others beside her. Be where she is and the music will come.”

— Rhiannon

“Laurie not only has highly developed musical skills in a broad range of genres; she encompasses what I believe is essential in teaching: a keen ear on the student, an open mind to allow the heart, soul and artistry of that student to discover their own path, and a hunger to learn more with that student.  Playing with Laurie is bound to be a joyful experience for anyone who enters the circle.”
