Laurie Fisher
Multi-talented Laurie Fisher has been performing and inspiring musicians
full-time for the past 17 years. She can fiddle, play piano, call dances,
teach and enthuse with the best of them. The very thriving Asheville
contradance scene has been passionately influenced by her bands and
music over the past 25 years.
Laurie teaches music, mostly
fiddle, piano and guitar, plus
the occasional claw hammer
banjo, voice, penny whistle or
bodhran in Black Mountain,
NC. New players look forward
to her facilitated jam sessions
and workshops where beginners
are easily assimilated and made
to feel a part of the session.
Laurie is experienced at a wide variety of crafts, from hair
braiding to blacksmithing. The list is much too long to
put here - - but she is a terrible cook, very bad at math and
drives too fast! She has been known to tell offensive
jokes, sleep all morning, and turn rude people into toads.
Rumor has it that she seeks advice from the voices in her
head and other channeled entities. It is well known she
regularly stays up too late.
