Rob Laurens & Friends, in Concert

"Rob Laurens culls his naturalistic ballads from the fertile soil of American folk tradition, but his intimate, incisive lyrics embody the best instincts of the contemporary songwriter movement." Scott Alarik, Boston Globe

"Rob Laurens is a rare bird. In a time when contemporary folk means fledgling pop writers with acoustic guitars, Laurens has developed a deep knowledge of an ancient Appalachian path. He has a sweet, well enunciated vocal style void of pretension, and a writing style that usually avoids being overly precious. He's the first major talent to come from the coffeehouse circuit in a while."

Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald "With a unique sense of phrasing and a strong, lyrical style, Rob Laurens writes songs that tell real stories - in the big sense of the word. He is an insightful and provocative songwriter." Dick Pleasants, host, "The Folk Heritage" WGBH 89.7 FM Boston
