Sat 11/7 - Lara Herscovitch & The Highway Philosophers (Silver Spring)

FocusMusic presents Lara Herscovitch & the Highway Philosophers at Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring. 10309 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD | 4pm

Lara Herscovitch is a modern folk singer-songwriter-poet-performer gem, described in The Boston Globe as “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence… big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life… Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” Her new group, the Highway Philosophers, brings together critically-acclaimed musicians from folk, rock, jazz and pop traditions, blending into a modern Americana sound all their own. The group’s depth of experience and authenticity, integrity, heart and humor pair perfectly with Lara’s songs -- which Sound Waves Magazine described as “expertly written prose… songwriting at its best… good for your ears AND your soul.” Acoustic Live in New York City added, “She possesses not only a huge reservoir of musical talent and a voice with a bell-like clarity, but a keen sense of global concern and a fierce intellect... It might seem too good to be true, but true it is.” Their inspiring, uplifting, one-of-a-kind concerts are not to be missed. HighwayPhilosophers.com
