New on the scene, Black Eyed Susan, a two piece band made up of Lincolnites, is putting a new spin on bluegrass and folk. Covering bluegrass classics such as Buck Owen’s Truck Driving Man and Levon’s Helm’s Got Me A Woman, the repertoire includes covers from unknown artists from around the globe as well as folk, and original songs composed by Laurie Fraser.

Friends, Jen Jurgens and Laurie Fraser started playing for fun. Jen, an accomplished musician who has played with several bands over the years really hones her skill on guitar with vocals and harmonies. Laurie Fraser, formerly of Grassfire, is a long time fan of the local music scene and publicist for the Kris Lager Band, and plays guitar and adds vocals with a clear, low alto range.

The harmonic, rich voices of Laurie Fraser and Jen Jurgens dip, wheel, and whirl around each other and the melody of each song with uncanny precision. The duo offers a tight blend of contemporary folk with two uniquely powerful voices joined together to create beautiful and sunny music

The duo recently recorded a sampler CD with Studio Blue in Omaha and will be releasing it late spring.
