Laura Love Trio

Laura Love has released 11 acclaimed CDs since the early 90s and has performed at major music festivals and concert halls throughout the U.S., Canada, Germany and Australia. Her music receives airplay throughout the world and she is a published author.

Laura's music is riveting. She has a phenomenal voice, a unique percussive bass style and an infectious sense of fun that gets her audiences revved up and on their feet. Laura's rhythms are based in funk, R&B and jazz and she has a deep love of traditional country, folk, gospel and bluegrass. Many have tried to define her sound. She calls it "Afro-Celtic" or "Hip-Alachian" or "Folk-Funk".

Laura's trio consists of Ms. Love on vocals and electric bass, Orville Johnson on vocals and guitar and Chris Leighton on drums. Laura has worked with these fine musicians for many years. Orville is a highly respected "musician's musician", a sought after studio sideman and record producer and an in demand guitar and dobro instructor who travels throughout the U.S and England teaching at workshops and music camps. Chris Leighton is an inventive drummer who lays down a wicked groove and tastefully ornaments the backbeat with a plethora of hand percussion. Chris has been honored nine times by the Washington State Blues Society as Drummer Of The Year.
