Laura Blackley & The Wildflowers LIVE @ Pisgah Brewing Co.1-5-2019
Laura Blackley is a singer, songwriter and purveyor of high lonesome Appalachian blues and soul. She was an on-air host and producer for seven years at WNCW 88.7 FM in Spindale, NC, spotlighting regional music, women in roots music, and bluegrass and old-time. She currently works (in addition to her gig schedule) as a Teaching Artist with Musicworks!, a program that utilizes music and musicianship to teach life skills to young children. A born storyteller, she has played in many bands, traveled many back roads and interstates and enjoys digging up old tunes and hearing the stories behind them. She believes that music has a healing power and is a communal act, and is very much looking forward to the next gig.
The Wildflowers are Ian Harrod on bass and vocals, Josh Gibbs on lap steel, Richard Foulk on drums. And sometimes awesome guests like Lyndsay Pruett on fiddle and Dorsey Parker on ‘lectric guitar.
