Lauren has toured and recorded with the famed Yuri Yunakov Ensemble and the the Ivan Milev Balkan Folk Band. She was the recipient of a Bulgarian government stipend to study Bulgarian folk music during the Communist period, from 1971-73, at the Bulgarian Conservatory of Music in Sofia. As a Fulbright scholar to Bulgaria in 1990 she conducted research on the commercial recording industry and folk music, and released two acclaimed reissues of 78 rpm recordings. Song of the Crooked Dance (1998, Yazoo Records) is a single-disc recording with detailed historical information, pictures and song texts. Outsinging the Nightingale (2010, JSP Records) is a 4-disc, 100-track collection with individual historical and informational booklets. For information on her seminal research on Bulgarian folk music visit her website SongoftheCrookedDance.com.
