Laurie Lewis with Tom Rozum

Inaugural Music Theater Performance

MIM: Recognized for her ability to incorporate traditional bluegrass instruments and vocals into an exciting musical style all her own, Grammy-award winning fiddler, signer, and songwriter Laurie Lewis provides a seamless mix of pure country and classic bluegrass.

Opening weekend – how exciting!! I was both nervous and excited for the first show in my new volunteer position. I worked as a Greeter at the front door and quickly overcame my butterflies by chatting with our guests. Everyone was in a great mood, needed directions or help, and were dazzled by the new building.

For this first show, I spent most of the concert in the lobby awaiting late arrivals. I was disappointed to not see the whole Laurie Lewis show, but the few songs I did sneak in for were exhilarating. Laurie and Tom were a magical duo. She told wonderful stories and their songs were catchy and sweet and pure bluegrass soul.
