"Laura Orshaw is that rare player who certainly has the chops, but also plays with great emotion and drive...Aside from her obvious ability as a player it quickly becomes    apparent what a fine accompanist her father is. His drive matches hers for an exciting listening experience...Besides her talented fiddling, Laura is also a fine singer...Laura Orshaw is certainly a player to watch."

"From the first bow of "North Carolina Breakdown" to the last note of "Soppin' the Gravy", Laura Orshaw's second CD of old time fiddle tunes is joyfull energy....Her own tunes capture the essence of old time and stand well beside chestnuts such as "The Star of Munster" and "Flying Indian".... Laura sings "The House Carpenter" in a rich, strong voice as pleasing as her fiddling and well suited to the old time themes....Laura Orshaw serves up an excellent feast of old time and old sounding tunes with energetic but tasteful playing."
