BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Ontario-born Laura Smith cut her teeth as a poet before beginning to play music in the ‘70s. She performed at coffeehouses around Toronto during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, and in 1989 she made her recording debut with the album Elemental. Critical and commercial success followed with her 1994 sophomore album B’tween the Earth and My Soul, a Juno-nominated masterstroke that spawned the hits “Shade of Your Love” and “My Bonny”. Her 1997 album It’s a Personal Thing was similarly successful, producing several chart hits and earning her a Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Performing Arts Program or Series. She continued to perform during the ‘00s despite chronic health problems, and in 2013 she made a triumphant return with Everything is Moving, her first album in nearly 16 years. Since then she has continued to grace stages throughout North America with soul-stirring performances of her Irish-influenced folk favorites.
