Artist Profiles: Barbara Lamb

Barbara Lamb, featured soloist with The Laura Love Band, former member of The John Cowan Band, Asleep At The Wheel and founding member of Ranch Romance, is off on a new tear. Babs released a CD in the fall of 2000 and her new sound was a departure from her bluegrass and western swing roots.

Backed by a rockin’ rhythm combo, Ms. Lamb takes the violin to a new rhythmic realm that weaves together funk, world beat, blues and jazz. Babs has a legion of fans across North America from her many years of touring with top national artists. She is a consummate performer and a skilled workshop presenter.
