Will headline after the Water to Wine Festival from 3-7PM
Sedona AZ - One of the great country, bluegrass vocalists of our time, Laurie Lewis, will be joined by mandolin/guitarist Tom Rozum to headline the Second Annual Water to Wine Festival at Old Town Center for the Arts on Saturday, April 17th. The festival that features 6 Verde Valley Vintners with wine tasting, entertainment and an expert wine panel will happen from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum will take the theater stage at OTCA at 7:00 PM. Join us for this great spring day in Old Town Cottonwood. Now, more details about the concert.
Legend is not always loud. Particularly in the beneath-the-radar sub streams of American folk music and bluegrass, it is bestowed more by whispered word-of-mouth, over years and decades, than by the hurried hype and ballyhoo of the pop mainstream. You can't measure Laurie Lewis's 30-year career with the usual commercial yardsticks. A stirring vocalist, gifted songwriter, champion fiddler, and topnotch bandleader, she has won a Grammy, for "True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe," in 1997, and twice been named Female Vocalist of the Year by the IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Associatin

If you listen down the back roads of acoustic Americana, however, you'll soon realize this soft-spoken, sweet-singing California fiddler, singer and songwriter is something very special. With nearly 20 solo, duo, and band albums to her credit, she has just released Blossoms, on Spruce and Maple Music, a winning collection of originals and covers that explores new territory while remaining true to her beloved Americana roots.
