Workshop with Laura Smith

Ross Creek Centre for the Arts will be holding an adult songwriter workshop Aug. 9, taught by accomplished Maritime based singer/ songwriter and touring performer Laura Smith.

Smith is an artist in high demand on the Canadian folk music scene, with songs relaying on her strong, melodious and emotive voice and the depth of her soul-searching lyrics and themes that can be easily identified with. She has three albums and has earned both East Coast Music Award and Juno nominations.
