Laura Love Returns to Bellingham! @ BUF

Laura Love Returns to Bellingham! @ BUF | Bellingham | Washington | United States

“Her music is spare, yet striking. Her voice is ripe, supple, strong and impossible to ignore.”
-Billboard

On Saturday, February 10, Laura Love brings her power-house voice and powerful presence to Bellingham after an absence of two decades. Love has played to rapt audiences around the globe and her recent return to the stage has been enthusiastically received from coast to coast. She felt “compelled to get back on the road, reach out to other human beings and spread kindness.” Love’s music is not only keen and kind, it energizes and empowers audiences in a way that is nothing short of unique.

Love’s music is wide-ranging and impossible to contain in any one genre. Acoustic Guitar Magazine writes: “…highly original style she calls Afro-Celtic: an improbable but irresistible hybrid of hip-grinding rhythms and folk melodies, electric funk bass and Appalachian-inflected vocals … It’s a new sound, for sure, but one that clearly shows its roots, making the band equally welcome in rock clubs and on bluegrass/Americana stages …”

Laura Love will be accompanied by master guitarist, Terry Hunt. The concert will take place at 1207 Ellsworth Street at the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 10. The concert is sponsored by BUF’s Social and Environmental Justice Group.

MOUNT BAKER THEATRE PRESENTS:
Celtic Nights—Oceans of Hope

Spirited Storytelling: Irish Music, Dance and Inspiration

Music and dance intertwine the stories of people crossing oceans in search of freedom and prosperity in Celtic Nights—Oceans of Hope. Told through Irish eyes by some of the Emerald Isle’s finest performers, this sweeping production explores the journeys of those who left their lives behind and traveled across the seas to the New World. This magical voyage captures the very essence of who we are and what we share: laughter, sorrow, family and hope.

Join the trek of a spirited people with a stubborn survival instinct amidst ballads, jigs and colorful storytelling. From famine-burdened Ireland to the wild, fertile lands of America and Australia, this outing paints a vibrant picture of the triumphs and trials of Irish heritage in the New World and beyond.

“Spellbinding and exhilarating” – The Valentine Theater, NY

“A triumphant display of sight and sound, song and dance, woe and joy.” – Broadway World
