Michigan-based roots musician Laurel Premo returns to the Northeast in March ’22, with an album release tour for the solo electric fingerstyle guitar record, Golden Loam. Known for her work over the past decade with the internationally touring duo Red Tail Ring, Premo’s solo performances on electric guitar, lap steel, fiddle and voice, draw on American and Nordic roots music alongside new compositions borne out of that traditional vocabulary. The glowing heartiness and rich grit of her sound reveal a love of and complete submersion in these heavy archaic roots—from the crossover of old-time and blues American traditions to darker Scandinavian sounds. MTV News described Premo’s new solo work as “subtle but dazzling and rich in texture. Watching a live performance is pure hypnosis.” (10/08/21) With ruminant power, a masterful use of space, and the glint of the untethered wild, Laurel Premo bears renewed electric dirt - the golden loam layered by centuries of folk.
Opening Set by Brooklyn songwriter Kyle Morgan
