"A modern woman with an old-timey heart, with a voice pitched somewhere between the bluesy realism of Lucinda Williams and the vintage femininity of Kitty Wells." —Rolling Stone
On stage, on record and on the radio, Laura Cantrell has made a name for herself by combining a love of traditional country and folk music with a modern sensibility that informs a sound both timeless and thoroughly original. A native of Nashville who has spent half her life in New York City, she has been called "arguably the most vital new country voice in decades," (The Independent) and praised for "the kind of cosmic wistfulness that the best country and folk music can conjure when it dreams of the past." (The New York Times) We're thrilled to have her 92YTribeca for an intimate show not to be missed.
Singer/songwriter Amy Allison opens the show. "Already out of the shadow of her boogie-woogie dad [Mose Allison] by the time of her debut and possessing the most beautifully freaky voice this side of Victoria Williams, Allison's easily gone from honky-tonk angel to Brill Building pop and gorgeous folk rock. Sheryl Crow should wish she had her style and grace." —Village Voice
