Laurie Lewis is very comfortable on a stage. She has a warm presence that seems to envelop those around her.

Laurie is a fiddler extraordinaire with a fine new CD, Seeing Things. I was very pleased to hear her perform two of my favorites from that album, Blue Days, Sleepless Nights, and Kiss Me Before I Die.

Tom Rozum's mandolin hits the spot next to Laurie's fiddle.

Laurie worked for a while with Ralph Stanley, and her work is influenced by that bluegrass icon.

Nina performed with both Laurie, above, and Greg, below. She is everyone's musician.

Greg Brown appeared both Saturday and Sunday. Cloud Moss, the producer for the event, asked everyone to perform one Kate Wolf song. Greg, after thinking about it some, chose Tequila and Me, and performed it in a way that only Greg Brown could do it.
