Rob Laurens, with Sean Staples on mandolin

Winner of the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award for Songwriting, Rob writes songs that harken to Appalachian ballads, country blues, and spirituals, as well as contemporary Americana, resulting in what has been described by Folk Radio WUMB 91.9 FM as “the rare ability to write songs that seem like they’ve always been there.” Samples from his Boston Music Award-nominated debut album, “The Honey On the Mountain,” as well as his latest release, “Jubilee,” can be heard on his website.

Cost: grab a drink or treat from cafe Zing! :)
