Concert with Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum

Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum will be playing their versatile and engaging offering of love songs, laments, social commentary, and free-wheelin’ fun in the spirit of bluegrass and old-time music at The Community Center of Mendocino on Saturday, Dec 17, at 7:30 PM. Doors open at 7. Refreshments, beer and wine will be available for purchase throughout the evening. 

Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum are widely regarded as being among the preeminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time. They formed a musical partnership in 1986, when Tom joined Laurie’s acclaimed band, Grant Street. Between them, they have recorded over twenty albums, as a duo and with their many talented musical friends, including their 1995 Grammy-nominated album The Oak and the Laurel. Laurie brought home a Grammy for her work on True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe. Their latest release, The Hazel and Alice Sessions, delves into the repertoire of Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard, two trailblazing women of bluegrass music.

Together, Laurie and Tom perfectly balance each others voices, and Tom’s sometimes-quirky and always deeply musical mandolin and mandola playing provides the ideal counterpoint to Laurie’s original compositions, her supportive and engaging guitar-playing and emotive fiddling.
