Laurel Premo returning to the Upper Peninsula to share music for voice and fiddle

Michigan-based musician Laurel Premo will return to the Upper Peninsula for shows in Escanaba and Crystal Falls.

Joined by Klezmer violinist Jake Shulman-Ment, the two will perform solo and combined works rooted in American and Nordic folk traditions. Voice and fiddle talents will be showcased to explore emotions of joy and grief in audiences. The duo will perform this weekend at the Bonifas Arts Center in Escanaba and The Crystal Theatre in Crystal Falls.
