Laurel Premo: Solstice Drone

A donation in thanks of this music can be directed towards paypal.me/laurelpremo or Venmo @laurelpremo. Setlist notes below:
To celebrate the winter solstice and just offer up some music to support the coziness of listeners' homes, I’m going to play a set on banjo and guitar focused on droning, trancelike tunes, for the most part non-recorded material, and I think I’ll present the set without singing and without introductions. I mean for it to be something that you could turn on like a live radio broadcast, or go to to play as background music for a gathering, or just for quiet solo hours while crafting or sipping a hot beverage. I'll leave it up for the holiday season.
Happy Solstice.

Laurel: Just found this... beautiful on both instruments, although I am especially partial to your work on the banjo (and the fiddle on other uploads...) Thanks for all your music.

Gorgeous. Gotta try to learn to play like this!

Thanks Ben. I'm hoping that she begins spreading her music beyond MI and the upper Midwest. She's special.

Michele on WFMU just opened her show with one of your tracks, I think I heard three notes and I knew I was going to love the song.
