Subject: RE: Elizabeth LaPrelle concert in PA
Well, I know a lot of Mudcatters know Elizabeth and her family by now. She even gave a concert at Dani's restaurant. But if you'd like more information on who she is, what she sings, and why she's worth listening to, take a look

here.

There are sound bites, a bit of background, and lyrics to all the songs on her CD.

This may be redundant if you looked at the web site, but Elizabeth is a freshman at William and Mary's this fall. She has already done a guest appearance on A Prairie Home Companion, sung at numerous festivals, including a conference on "Disappearing Cultures" in Banff, Canada, and published her first CD. And she just turned 18!

But none of this, and really no words, can describe Elizabeth's rich voice, her mastery of Appalachian singing styles, or her liveliness and presence on stage. You just have to be there. Her concerts are so much fun! I hope some Mudcatters will manage to get to this Mercyhurst concert.
