BAND MEMBERS:
​
LAURA POISSON-VOCALS/KEYBOARD (front left)
​
A New England native who grew up singing from the time she could talk. Throughout her childhood/young adulthood, she sang choral music, musical theater, acapella jazz and did a post-college tour with a musical theater production, Up With People. After a 10-year hiatus to launch a career and start a family, Laura was ecstatic to reunite with her long lost love (music) again by joining forces with friend and singer/song writer Ronnie Hirschberg to form The New English Band where they debuted at The Local Table! Since then Laura has played locally with other talented musicians including Perry Bakalos, Chuck Clough, Ronnie Hirschberg, Alison Keslow, Greg Mara, David Moore and Steve Rose. Laura is happy to be playing with some of the area’s most talented musicians.
