 Dolce
Tickets are $10 for the concert, which begins at 7:00 PM. Refreshments will be served.Husband and wife duo, Steve and Laura Franklin have been creating music together for the past seven years. They met in their former pop-rock band, Hurricane Jane. Following Hurricane Jane, Steve and Laura experimented with various styles of music. ‘Dolce’ was formed from a common love of acoustic music. At the beginning of 2006, Steve and Laura got married, released their first album with ‘Dolce’, and began a nationwide tour. The duo traveled from coast to coast for the next year playing in venues such as The Bitter End (NYC), Genghis Cohen (Los Angeles), Uncommon Ground (Chicago) and Oklahoma’s own Woody Guthrie Folk Festival (Okemah).
Laura began playing classical violin at age four. She grew up performing with orchestras, and with artists such as Roy Clark, David Gates and the Oakridge Boys. She has since added piano, bass, acoustic guitar and accordion to her repertoire. Steven became interested in singing and songwriting in his late teens. Inspired by a James Taylor album, he began writing and performing himself, playing acoustic guitar with melodically interesting vocal performances. “The start of 2008 brings a new album, set to release in March, as well as many exciting shows to celebrate.” says Laura.
