Concerts & Shows
Laurie has been performing music most of her life and has moved in the hearts of millions of people with her bluesy, pop, rock and folk music. In a word, "versatile" comes to mind. She loves her craft and relates to every generation. Her background of music started in the 60's with psychedelic rock and hard rock cover bands. She quickly transitioned to traditional Dixieland Jazz with "The Celebration Road Show" performing in 48 states & Canada for more than 5 years! After moving to Chicago in 1974, Laurie was involved in so many different styles of music that she became a "stylistic vocalist" which enabled her to sing with Les Elgart's Big Band, "Jim Beebe's Chicago Jazz", The 60's group "The Buckinghams" and the Folk Rock ALL STAR singing group "The New Mamas & The Papas". Today, Laurie has her own band along with husband Chuck Lewis but also continues to perform with "The Queen Divas Of The Universe" along with guitarist/vocalist "Roni Lee" and vocalist/bassist Shaaron Schuemaker. She is also a recording artist and producer in the studio with various San Diego artists and is an active worship leader of Praise & Worship at "Windsor Hills Community Church" in La Mesa, CA. If you would like to book Laurie at your venue please contact her via email at lauriesmusic@sbcglobal.net
House Concerts! Roof Top Concerts!
What is a House Concert?
A house concert is quite simply a live music performance in someone's home. You invite your friends over to watch a live show. Each of your friends and guests donates money at the door or you may want to sell tickets for a set price. Your friends get a personalized, smoke-free environment to hear great music! You need to determine if your home can accomodate at least 30 guests to help defray the cost of the band and anything you are providing like food or beverages. I suggest to all my House Concert hosts, aside of paying for a ticket, to bring an appetizer for 12 people and their favorite beverage.
Hosting a house concert is rewarding and fairly easy to do. Who knows, you may like it and turn into one of those people who hosts house concerts regularly! I will help you to organize your event, give suggestions and invite a few of my friends too! At the moment I perform House Concerts in the Southern California area. It is easy to network here and convenient for me and my band to travel the few miles. If you live outside of this area please contact me for alternative ideas!
Here's How It Works
1. Contact your friends and family and tell them you are hosting a House Concert. I will also contact my fans and friends and invite them as well!
2. Ask them to donate money for the ticket price. This is a good time to decide if they should provide an appetizer and/or beverage.
3. Make a few flyers and give them to your neighbors, friends, local business associates, etc. to get the word out! This is a great time to invite people
you've been meaning to get to know a little better!
4. Set up an area where you think most appropriate for your guests to be comfortable. Chairs, small tables, pillows on the floor OR and outside area
that is more spacious during warm weather seasons! Its always best to set up a "concert friendly" area so the focus is on the music, just like you would if you were to attend a concert at any venue!
It does require a little bit of work, but imagine hosting great music in your own home! You'll also get a chance to spend some time with Laurie and her band and spend quality time with your guests!
