A Sunday Afternoon concert with Laurelyn Dossett

One of North Carolina's most treasured songwriters, Laurelyn Dossett is a singer-songwriter based in Stokes County, NC. Laurelyn is known for her advocacy efforts, her work with Triad Stage, and her original songs, recorded by the likes of Levon Helm and Rhiannon Giddens.

Her songs tend to reflect the stories of the region, both traditional and contemporary. One of the most sought-after voices in creative collaborations, she co-founded Polecat Creek with singing partner Kari Sickenberger in 1997.

A song from Brother Wolf, “Anna Lee,” featured on Levon Helm's Grammy-winning record, Dirt Farmer, is included in the documentary film about Helm's life, called "Ain't in it for my Health," and is featured on the 2011 Grammy-winning CD Levon Helm's “Ramble at the Ryman.”

She is currently working on a solo recording produced by MC Taylor of “Hiss Golden Messenger.”
