Highland Bloom

Highland Bloom - THe Mountain Laurels' debut CD, presents a flowering fusion of Celtic, folk and Americana music. These melodious mavens, who hail from the High Country of North Carolina, bring a pastiche of subtle and varied musical influences from traditional Irish music to contemporary folk. The signature vocals of Lauren Hayworth and Suzi Mills are intertwined with Rhonda Lorence's masterfully arranged neo-classical fiddle style and Elaine Gray's rhythmic guitar, which interplays beautifully with Hayworth's banjo and Connie Woolard's delicate and definitive hammered dulcimer. This group creates an impressively distinct and unforgettably modern twist on traditional, timeless, and original tunes.
