Music by:
Golden Bough -- Celtic Rooted
in the traditional Celtic music of Ireland and Scotland (as
well as Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, French Brittany and
Spanish Galicia), these modern day minstrels have expanded
upon the ethnic styles through the development of intriguing
arrangements and original compositions. In this way, they have
created a sound unique unto themselves. Since their formation
in 1980, Golden Bough has traveled great distances to numerous
countries, to bring their music to enthusiastic folk fans the
world over. Backing themselves on an array of acoustic instruments,
including; Celtic harp, guitar, octave- mandolin, mandolin,
accordion, penny-whistle and bodhran, they blend their voices
in pristine harmony and feature haunting solo vocals. In the
recording studio, as well as on stage, Golden Bough captures
the essence and joy of traditional music.

Laura Kemp -- Since 1990, Laura has been a fixture on the
Eugene, Oregon folk scene, and over the years she has performed
in a number of configurations: captivating Northwest audiences
as a solo artist, her unique brand of acoustic poetry earning
her comparisons to Bob Dylan and Nanci Griffith; playing to
sold out audiences at the W.O.W. Hall as part of Eugene's
power girl group, Babes With Axes; as the front person for
the Laura Kemp Band, with Brian West and T.R. Kelley on drums
and bass; as the host of a writers in the round at Sam Bond's
Garage, along with Eugene's folk treasure Peter Wilde;
at the historic Inn of the Beginning in Cotati, CA with members
of the Bay area's
Little Big Band; on the Main Stage of the Oregon Country Fair
with Mare Wakefield and T.R. Kelley; or paired down as a duo
with Memphis player, Roy Brewer on fiddle and mandolin.
Her dynamic performing style, refined confidence, and uncompromising
frankness on stage have repeatedly earned her "Favorite
Female Performer" honors at the WOW Hall in Eugene, "Best
Musician" from the Eugene Weekly, "Best Local Band/Musician" from
In Town, and "Queen of Eugene Folk" by the Statesman
Journal, Salem. The Willamette Week (Portland) says "the
singer and guitarist plays with a breadth rarely found in regional
acts, picking the strings of her acoustic guitar with an earnestness
befitting her emotional delivery."
"Performer extraordinaire, Laura Kemp (has the) ability
to make an audience chuckle, tear up, and feel an instant connection
with her lyrics - all in the course of one song." - San
Francisco Bay Guardian
