Who Is Lara Herscovitch?

Lara Herscovitch is singer-songwriter-poet-performer gem. As described in The Boston Globe, she brings “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence… big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life… Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” She leads with authenticity, integrity, humor and heart.

The wisdom in Lara’s artistry comes from her decades of humanitarian work, focused on education, community development, environmental protection, and justice system reform. The depth of this experience resonates throughout her music; as Acoustic Live in New York City described, “She possesses not only a huge reservoir of musical talent and a voice with a bell-like clarity, but a keen sense of global concern and a fierce intellect... It might seem too good to be true, but true it is.”

Lara tours and performs across the U.S., playing solo and with her backing band the Highway Philosophers. She is a regular guest speaker, keynote presenter and workshop facilitator. She holds a BA in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts and a policy MSW from the University of Connecticut. She grew up in the Northeast U.S. and lives in Connecticut.

Who is Cantrip?

The name Cantrip is an old Scots word meaning a charm, magic spell or piece of mischief and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns of their musical arrangements. Swirling boarder pipes, raging fiddle, thunderous guitar and three rich voices blend to create an energetic sound. Cantrip sprung from a local session in Edinburgh nearly 20 years ago, where their driving music immediately caught the attention of the masses. And now, after 20 years of touring, Cantrip has found a character like no other. Dan Houghton, Jon Bews, Alasdair White and Eric McDonald stir the elements in a witches’ cauldron, slowly coalescing into chaotic order.

A prolific performer and sincere songwriter who captivates her fans equally with musical prowess and a fun, energetic spirit; it’s no wonder why New Hampshire’s April Cushman is a perennial crowd favorite.

April & Brad have opened for Scotty McCreery at The Colonial Theater in Keene, Joe Nichols at Loretta’s Last Call in Boston, Eli Young Band at Marty’s Driving Range, and No Shoes Nation Band at Blue Ocean Music Club in Salisbury, among many other duo concerts.
