Laura Cantrell
In her 26-year career, Cantrell has explored many facets of a musical life: singer-songwriter, touring musician, radio host (she is currently the host of “Dark Horse Radio,” a program devoted to George Harrison on SiriusXM’s The Beatles Channel). Since 2000, Cantrell has released six studio albums and a compilation of live performances on the BBC. She has toured extensively in the US, UK and Ireland, and was a favorite of pioneering British DJ John Peel, who called her first album,Not The Tremblin’ Kind, “my favorite record of the last ten years, and possibly my life.”
Cantrell’s music has been celebrated in the press, including features in The New York Times, O magazine, Elle, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times of London, and Maverick magazine.Cantrell’s music has been featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” “On Point” and “WeekendEdition” and the BBC’s Women’s Hour. She has performed on A Prairie Home Companion, “Mountain Stage,” and the Grand Old Opry, and appeared on the television programs LateNight With Conan O’Brien, and BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show.
Cantrell continues, “Reflecting on it now, Humming became the end of an early chapter – we found out I was pregnant with my daughter Isabella after a run of shows on the West Coast in October of 2005 – she was born in 2006. And Jeremy had just created Outlaw Country at Sirius in 2004 and was building that. Our time of flying across the Atlantic four times a year and crisscrossing the UK in splitter vans hit a natural pause as we shifted focus to our daughter, and the next 20 years flew by. I think Jeremy (who passed away in 2024) would be pleased to see Humming By The Flowered Vine remembered on its 21st birthday, and I’m proud of it and the work we did together in this chapter of our musical lives.”
She makes her Grand Debut on November 13 with a trio.
