FocusMusic presents Lara Herscovitch at Episcopal Church of the Ascension. 633 Sligo Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20910 | 7.30pm
Lara Herscovitch is 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.”
Lara leads with authenticity, integrity, humor and heart. The wisdom in her 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.”
Lara Herscovitch & the Highway Philosophers is a very special new trio. The band gets its name from her new album, Highway Philosophers, with themes reflecting about courage, authenticity, adventure, healing, love and loss, the hero’s journey, faith and freedom. Connecticut Public Radio host Colin McEnroe observed, "Lara reminds us that music can be heroic when it springs from a strong heart. Walt Whitman would recognize his own soul in her expansive American vision, and there really is no higher compliment I can pay an artist.”
