Her new CD, Miles From Nowhere, is a collection of twenty songs inspired by 40,000 miles of touring that explores a driving, electric sound in addition to the standout finger-style playing for which she has become known.  Laura Meyer Watch video of Laura Meyer performing "This Land" Gwyneth Moreland    Watch video of Gwyneth Moreland and Michael Monko performing "Hole in My Sky" The amalgam of Gwyneth Moreland's "tangible gentleness" and Michael Monko's old-timey grunge creates a captivating performance that is sure to rouse the weary. Gwyneth Moreland's passionate vocals and lyrics are soulful and steadfast. Michael Monko, having mastered the nuances of "edgy" in his previous career as heavy rock bassist, has seamlessly woven the fervency of grunge-rock into the more folk-based tunes of Gwyneth Moreland. Michael accompanies Gwyneth's voice and rhythm guitar with a variety of instruments including mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar and fiddle.   Admission is only $10. Come to the Center to support live music!
