Rob Laurens

An accomplished songwriter in his own right, Rob won the New Folk Award for Songwriting at both the Kerrville and Columbia River Folk Festivals, and returned to play the main stage at these and many other festivals. Rob has lived and traveled throughout the United States, learning folk music from Appalachian fiddle and banjo players, blues guitarists, and from recordings at the Library of Congress. These experiences have helped him develop what has been described as "the rare ability to write songs that seem like they've always been there". We're just plain psyched that he's able to join us on keyboard whenever he can!
