Laurie Lewis | Maple's Lament | Tucson Folk Festival

Laurie Lewis & Nina Gerber, streaming from Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA to the Tucson Folk Festival. For fiddler, guitarist, singer, songwriter, and Grammy-winner Laurie Lewis, the traditions of bluegrass and folk aren’t so much tools in her hands, but burning sources of inspiration that have driven her through a 30+ year career at the forefront of American roots music. A pioneering woman in bluegrass, Laurie has paved the way for many young women today, always guided by her own love of traditional music and the styles of her heroes that came before. Laurie is joined by the inimitable Nina Gerber on acoustic and electric guitar. The 36th Annual Tucson Folk Festival is a free and accessible festival celebrating Americana and Folk Music traditions and all the wonderful variations, including American bluegrass, blues, country, jazz, Celtic, zydeco, and various styles of Latin and Mexican music! This annual family-friendly festival is held in some of the most historic sections of Tucson. Presented by the Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association, Arizona Arts, and Arizona Arts Live.
