Laurelyn Dossett goes big time... (symphonically)

(rock star when she's not waxing classical)

For those of you who have seen the past Preston Lane & Laurelyn Dossett collaborations that include Brother Wolf, Beautiful Star, & Bloody Blackbeard, you will be interested to know about happenings with those productions outside of Greensboro:

• The North Carolina Symphony in Raleigh is putting together a summer pops concert tour called Blue Skies & Golden Sands that will include a few of Ms. Dossett's songs from Bloody Blackbeard.
• The Water Tower Theatre in Addison, Texas performed Beautiful Star as their holiday show this past December and was wonderfully received as well.
• The Human Race Theatre in Dayton, Ohio performed Brother Wolf in collaboration with a dance company which ran through January 2009 through February.
• And “Anna Lee,” a song Laurelyn wrote for Brother Wolf, was recorded by Levon Helm for his Grammy-winning album Dirt Farmer.
• A youth version of Bloody Blackbeard entitled Blackbeard is touring the eastern counties of North Carolina in April, performed by Triad Stage actors and funded by NC Arts Council.
• And visit here for Laurelyn Dossett's website full of photos, video, & her calendar. (Have fun at the Ramble, Laurelyn.)
