Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum are coming up from California to kick off the Timberline Mountain Music Series. The concerts are free to the public and start at 3 p.m. in the amphitheater. The forecast looks good, but fyi we’re going to do this one rain or shine. It the weather doesn’t permit an outside show, we will be moving it into the main lobby.
Please encourage our guests to come out and enjoy the music, and chek it out yourselves after your shift. The concerts go till approx. 5 p.m.
Since forming a musical partnership in 1986 when Tom first joined Laurie's band, this acoustic duo has recorded 12 albums and has been nominated for a Grammy Award. They are widely regarded as leaders of the modern bluegrass sound. Guitar and mandolin player Tom Rozum also has a wonderful tenor voice. Laurie, a fine guitar player and a terrific fiddle player, is an award winning songwriter, and was twice named Female Vocalist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.
