Folk Singer Laura Shepherd To Perform At Gulfport Springfest

GULFPORT, FL -- Laura Shepherd, host of the popular Laura Shepherd Show on Facebook and a fixture on the Florida folk music scene, will entertain audiences with three live sets at this year’s 25th Annual Gulfport Springfest – Garden and Art Faerie Festival in Clymer Park.

Shepherd will perform songs from her popular catalog, including fan favorites Something’s Gonna Happen (And it Could be Good), Best Foot Forward and Calm at Night, among several others as part of her three-set engagement.

“I’ve been performing live for audiences for nearly 20 years, but playing home in Gulfport is always such a delight,” said Shepherd. “To see and perform for the friends and neighbors I see around town is very rewarding as an artist, and I’m so grateful they’ve invited me to play three sets this year.”

James Briggs, owner and creative director at Carroway + Rose, added, “The stage is Laura’s natural environment and Gulfport is her natural habitat. Come rain or shine, Laura brings her own sunshine to the festivities and to her show. As a new member of the Gulfport community, I’m excited to get out there and hear her perform.”

Shepherd will close the musical performances on Saturday at 4 p.m. and return for more with two sets on Sunday, at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

“Sundays at 11 are my usual showtime when hosting the Laura Shepherd Show, so I’ll be ready to go and energized to get the crowd dancing,” said Shepherd. “I’m blessed to have Lucky Lucy Flute with me for all three sets this year to give the crowds a little something extra”

Her next show is on Sunday, May 5 at 11 a.m. and will feature live music by Tropico Boulevard and an interview with Phil Reasons of Aquasol International. You can also find her podcast, Something’s Gonna Happen on sale at iTunes, Stitcher and other podcast outlets.
