Laurie Lewis


Bluegrass legend Sam Bush says: “As a singer, Laurie Lewis knows the rules of bluegrass and how to sing in her own voice. She's one of the few female singers who really knows the nuances of the Ralph Stanley vocal style." This Grammy–winning fiddler, singer and songwriter’s performing companion is ace mandolinist and singer Tom Rozum. "I love to have a partner to sing with, crave it deep down inside," Laurie says, "and Tom's the same way.” Laurie has twice been named IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year. Her songs have been recorded by Kathy Mattea, Patsy Montana, Jeannie Kendall and Prudence Johnson.  www.laurielewis.com
