"Laura Love is one of the most significant and exciting artists to emerge from the Northwest music scene in recent memory. In the past several years she has been an overwhelming hit at music festivals, concerts and clubs across North America, successfully wedding African/Caribbean rhythms, traditional acoustic instruments and intriguing harmonies into a style that she calls 'Afro/Celtic.' Laura's performance is exciting, uplifting and joyful and her effect on an audience is extreme. She tours as a quartet with electric bass, acoustic guitars, percussion, tongue drum and accordion." -- Sessions at West 54th
