SUMMARY:Laurie MacAllister - March 14\, 2026 (A second Saturday event)
DESCRIPTION:In late 2024\, Laurie MacAllister embarked on an exciting new chapter\, launching a solo career with a sold-out performance at the legendary Club Passim. \nTwo decades earlier\, she co-founded the beloved Americana trio Red Molly\, which released seven acclaimed albums and toured both the U.S. and internationally\, including appearances at MerleFest\, Cayamo\, and Boston Symphony Hall. \nAlong the way\, ad executives heard Laurie’s voice on the Red Molly album “Never Been to Vegas” and invited her to sing the iconic Folgers Coffee jingle for a national TV commercial. \nHer 2018 self-produced solo album “The Lies the Poets Tell” is a heartfelt tribute to the contemporary folk music scene\, celebrating a handful of its best songs and songwriters. It features duets with six male artists\, including the late Americana master Jimmy LaFave. SiriusXM praised the album as “Defining. A curated collection packed with emotional vibrancy.” \nLaurie’s earlier solo album “The Things I Choose To Do” was produced by folk luminary Cliff Eberhardt and was first released independently. Hearing it\, Barnes & Noble re-released it as an exclusive on their label\, saying\, “MacAllister wholly inhabits these songs as subtly as a chameleon\, convincingly taking on the persona’s skin\, quite simply singing her heart out.” \nFrom a young girl with a quiet dream of becoming a singer\, Laurie’s journey has unfolded one song at a time. Over more than two decades\, she’s made her dream into a reality. \nLaurie has announced her Solo Debut Tour\, headlining shows in 2025 across the Northeast\, bringing her soulful\, loving voice and presence to fans old and new.
