Laura Cantrell plays intimate gig in Fopp By Stephen McKenna

The multi-talented, Nashville born singer/songwriter Laura Cantrell is a DJ on American free-form radio station WFMU as well as a successful musician. She is flying into Glasgow this Thursday (July 28th) for an in-store acoustic gig in Fopp on Glasgow's Union Street at 1pm.

After the gig, Laura will be available to sign copies of her latest album Humming By The Flowered Vine, which is on sale now.

John Peel famously reviewed Laura's Debut album Not the Tremblin' Kind as "My favorite record from the last ten years, and possibly my life." So with backing like that from one of the greatest DJs to ever don a pair of headphones, you know that Laura will be worth a listen.

With a music career starting in 2000, Laura has built a loyal fan base in the UK and her live reviews speak of sold out venues with fans singing along to every word she sings.

Laura Cantrell will also be playing a gig in the Queens Hall in Edinburgh on September 24th.

Not a bad gig given the circumstances of the instore location and he time of day. The songs from the new album sound even better live.

Set list- I can't remember the running order exactly-

14th Street, California Rose, Letters, All the Same to You, 2 Seconds, Wishful Thinking and Old Downtown

I'm sure there was one other who's title I've forgotten.

The hastily-arranged Laura Cantrell Fopp instore rounded up a fair turn-out who were treated to the first appearance in Glasgow of Dave Schramm and Steve Goulding.

The short seven-song showcase featured "14th Street", "California Rose", "Letters", "All The Same To You", "Two Seconds", "Wishful Thinking" and "Old Downtown". After that Laura had to scoot up to the BBC to complete the BBC Radio Thrift Shop programmes which start going out a week from today at 8.05pm until 10pm on Fridays. The "Listen Again" facility will of course be available for a week following each broadcast.
