Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum - Photo by Don Prichard	1996 Grammy nominees for Best Traditional Folk Album, Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum, play everything from straight-up bluegrass to traditional country to selections from more contemporary genres. Laurie Lewis has truly established herself as one of the finest, most diversely talented folk artists in traditional American and bluegrass music today. Lewis is a gifted fiddler, deft guitarist, inspired songwriter, and powerfully evocative singer.
Tom Rozum is a former Tucsonan who played with the popular band, Summerdog Bluegrass and Mariachi Experience, back in the 70′s. Lewis and Rozum started performing together in 1987 when he joined her band Grant Street, a talent-laden combo that boosted the careers of string experts like banjo player Tony Furtado and guitarist Scott Nygaard. But after a serious car wreck in Arizona in 1994, the sudden confrontation with mortality led Lewis and Rozum to focus on honing the duo act they’d long thought about pursuing. Tom’s versatility and his background as a rock and swing musician adds a uniquely satisfying flavor to Laurie’s fiddle-playing and vocals. He plays primarily mandolin with the band, but is also an accomplished fiddle, mandola, and guitar player.	Laurie Lewis, Tom Rozum, and friends performing 'Tall Pines'
