SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: Laura Cantrell
DESCRIPTION:Ever since her debut album “Not The Tremblin’ Kind” dropped 25 years ago\, country singer Laura Cantrell has been perfecting her own sparkling blend of Americana music. Cantrell’s songs are delivered in a voice both honest and unadorned\, and her version of country music is imbued with the buoyant catchiness of classic pop and rock ‘n’ roll. \nIn addition to singing her own songs everywhere from Prairie Home Companion to The Grand Ole Opry\, Cantrell hosts Dark Horse Radio\, a show devoted to the music of George Harrison on SiriusXM’s The Beatles Channel. \nCantrell embodies the conviction of a modern woman singing country music\, and we can’t think of a better way to close out our spring 2025 season. \nDoors at 7:30 p.m. \n
