Chris Dorman and Laurel Premo

Chris Dorman, of Lansing, is a musician, a father, and a friend to the community.  Songwriting has developed as a natural medium for him to share the swirling emotions he feels living in an ever changing, and unpredictable age.  His songs are both gentle and strong.  He injects his thoughts and feelings into his music, and often writes about his friends and family.  Inspired by the birth of his son, now 9 months old, Chris is releasing a full length album, To Begin Again.  Recorded and released with Earthwork Music, the album is diversely textured and reflects upon personal and global transitions. It’s on the way to being heard by a wider audience, starting with Lansing on Friday, May 30th.
 
Laurel Premo shares a music full of life that draws from Appalachian, Celtic, Contemporary folk, Cajun, Bluegrass, and Scandinavian roots. From haunting old ballads to feverish instrumental compositions, her music is made for all ears. Laurel collaborates in arts and music in the Ann Arbor area, as well as in the Upper Peninsula, her home.

-Saturday, May 31st. TBA
