Lara was one of the earliest Connecticut Troubadours and we are excited to host her for this evening concert with Pierce Campbell on bass and David Childs on piano.

Here are a few reviews of Lara’s unique and heartfelt performances:

Lara Herscovitch is new folk / Americana singer-songwriter-poet-performer gem. As described in The Boston Globe, she brings “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence… big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life… Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” Sound Waves Magazine described her music as “expertly written prose… songwriting at its best… Lara gets it all done with her skillful songwriting – musical timing, memorable melodies, and compelling lyrics. It’s good for your ears AND your soul” – and with a voice Performer Magazine called “clear and smooth like expensive liquor.” The wisdom in Lara’s artistry comes from her decades of humanitarian work. The depth of this experience resonates throughout her music; as Acoustic Live in New York City described, “She possesses not only a huge reservoir of musical talent and a voice with a bell-like clarity, but a keen sense of global concern and a fierce intellect… It might seem too good to be true, but true it is.” LaraHerscovitch.com
