Acclaimed Singer Joins Laramie Montessori Event [VIDEO]

A new star will shine at Laramie Montessori Community Organization’s third STARRY NIGHT OUT event, benefitting the Laramie Montessori School.

Carrie Elkin has performed at such events as South by Southwest, Lilith Fair and Falcon Ridge and now, she will perform at the Laramie Plains Civic Center Gryphon Theatre.

A soulful singer with a gypsy spirit, Elkin’s music has been described as a blend of poetic lyrics, gritty folk and Americana sound. Her delivery has been praised as sometimes stunningly powerful yet often sweetly soulful. Regarding her performances, a review from Maverick Magazine stated, “I have never seen a performer so in love with the act of singing…”

Leah Burgess, of Laramie Montessori Community Organization, says the group is thrilled to bring a talent like Carrie Elkin to Laramie.

I have seen her perform several times and she is just outstanding. It is an honor that she is performing this show as a benefit to Laramie Montessori School.”

The benefit will be held on Saturday, April 20 and will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a social hour of drinks and a raffle followed by the concert.

Raffle items include a week-long vacation in Driggs, Idaho near Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park, 2012-2013 Theater and Dance season tickets, a “Night with the Astronomer” at the Mount Jelm Observatory, and more. You need not be present to win, and raffle tickets are available online at www.laramiemontessori.info or at the concert.
