Laurie Kerr spent 19 years in Nashville honing her craft as a performing songwriter. Known for her soulful delivery and seasoned stage persona, Laurie’s songs tend to say something deeper about life. Musical influences such as Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, and Brandi Carlile helped to shape her writing and eclectic brand of Americana. Rooted in folk, rock, and the grit of lived experience, Toni Vere is a singer-songwriter who writes like she’s got nothing left to prove and plenty left to say. Playing close to 100 shows this past year, from Vancouver Island to Ottawa, she’s simultaneously been building her sixth studio album, Picture Of You. Think Lucinda Williams and John Prine and you’ll be on track of what to expect from Toni’s music.
