Legend of California bluegrass, Laurie Lewis joins Rocky Outcrop on this week's episode of the Yolo County Breakdown! Laurie is a 2 time IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year, and she is a fiddle player, singer and songwriter that has had an immense influence on the traditional sounds that have come out of the Golden State over the last 5 decades. Laurie will be performing at the upcoming Father's Day Bluegrass Festival up in beautiful Grass Valley, California. This year marks the 50th anniversary of this festival, and as part of the celebration Laurie will be appearing with her band The Right Hands as well as alongside her partner of 50 years, Kathy Kallick with whom she founded the Good Ol' Persons and trailblazed a place in the history of bluegrass music. Her latest album, Trees, is another beautiful and timeless contribution to the library of recorded bluegrass music that will surely endure the test of time.
