Laura Boswell and Molly Hartwell in Concert

"Music allows us to be moved and to move others. It penetrates the deep well of history and emotion stored within us and accesses a through-line to others that transcends language. I seek to open this window of vulnerability within others and myself, to recognize vulnerability and connection to one another & our environment as sacred and vital for our survival.” -Laura Boswell

Laura Boswell exhibits a poetic and technical depth that has garnered comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Nick Drake. She writes intimate folk music with classical influence that has been described as meditative, transcendental, and within the "chamber-folk" genre (Asheville's Mountain Xpress). Along with being a singer-songwriter, Laura has a degree in classical guitar performance and studied piano from a young age. She views music as a bridge to human connection and vulnerability, as well as a powerful tool for fostering community. The multi-instrumentalist has self-released three albums, Counting Eyes (2014), Fall Away (2017), and WellSpring (2022) along with two EP's.

WellSpring is the musical collaboration of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Molly Hartwell and Laura Boswell. Rooted in strong and subtle two-part harmonies, the duo initially bonded over cover songs by artists like Simon and Garfunkel, Patty Griffin, and Iron and Wine. Working with Dan Shearin (River Whyless) over 2021-2022 in Asheville, NC they recorded and released their first self-titled album.
