The Woodshed Podcast 75 featuring Lori Fassman

Lori Fassman moved to the Boston area from Connecticut in the late 1980s, armed with a math degree, and immediately became enchanted with the local folk music scene. She joined and later became a core volunteer for the Folk Song Society of Greater Boston (fssgb.org), helping to organize their concert series, singing parties and annual Fall Getaway Weekend. Lori has sung with numerous local performing groups including The Simones (named after her late cat), Acton Music Project, and Sisters in Song/SisterWolf, singing at weddings, private parties and local coffeehouses. Her repertoire includes traditional folk songs and covers of contemporary singer-songwriter material, as well as popular songs from the 1970s, and she has a particular fondness for the songs of blues rockers such as Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi.
