EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House is to present local music great Lauren Mettler streaming from our Facebook page on 7 p.m. April 30.

This is a give-what-you-like event with all proceeds supporting the programs and services of the Earlville Opera House as we poise to re-open.

 

Hailing from the hills of Sherburne New York, Lauren Mettler grew up singing and playing music with her parents who played professionally when she was a child. She played in bands with her siblings and friends throughout her childhood and young adult life. She has since devoted herself to her solo songwriting craft. She learned originally to play music on the guitar, but has picked up the banjo, mandolin, and uke along the way. She loves to whistle, and can play some Irish penny whistle to top it off! She has a dream to lead a folk ensemble accompanying her original repertoire.

 

Lauren bears a unique and earthy style of songwriting that enchants listeners with beautiful images and thought-provoking lyrics, she paints worlds which evoke nostalgia, empathy, and courage. Lauren’s original music ranges in style from folk alternative, to jazz classics, to winsome ballads, and all delivered with a melodious, articulate voice. She will be sharing a selection of tunes written for an upcoming album that is a musical portrait of the American working class. Lauren has many fond memories of attending workshops and performing in various contexts at the Earlville Opera House, and is honored be playing for us now.
