Laura Vinson & Free Spirit
Folk • Edmonton, AB, CA
Laura Vinson is active in the music industry for over 30 years now. She started her career as country star, had several hits including number one hit "Sweet Mountain Music". Laura Vinson & Free Spirit are a regular on all the major festivals and venues in North America and is a frequent guest on many national TV shows. In 1996, after her time as a country artist, Vinson created a theater show around her highly successful album "Voices On The Wind", an album for which she has received several Aria awards.
Her Native roots inspired Laura to this album to take a large audience to get acquainted with its culture and heritage. The show appears an international success, both the festival edition and the unique theatrical version. The show travels around the world (South Korea, United States, Australia, Denmark, Lithuania, Belgium and the Netherlands). A colorful display of Native American rhythms and uplifting lyrics about the wonderful life then and now with the currents of Native, Metis, western and Celtic influence tells the story of Western Canada.
