Through
the chaos, there is calm.
There is love, and then there is music.
There is love, and then there is music.

| The Lara Collective |
The
Lara Collective, singer-songwriter Lara Eidi and cellist Stavros
Parginos, are fulfilling their dream of playing the Fringe this
August! Sweet Venues will host the duo, promising a breath of fresh
air and originality across two exclusive performances. They will
perform from their debut work Little People, premier new
tracks, as well as select covers of favourite artists, including Joni
Mitchell and Peter Gabriel.
Lara
Eidi is a singer-songwriter of Canadian, Greek and Lebanese descent.
Having performed as a solo vocalist and pianist, she decided to
change focus, founding The Lara Collective with
cellist Stavros Parginos, Lara’s music developed into an original
synthesis of sound, produced solely from voice, piano, acoustic
guitar and cello. The Lara Collective seeks to
emphasise creativity and music that blends folk, indie and ethnic
vocal styling with atmospheric harmonies and sincere lyrics.
"The
lyrics reflect our most intimate fears, our inner desires, love and
the pursuit of happiness. The music is intended elevate and allow
listeners to travel through the tunes and give them a sense of
peace," says Lara Eidi.
Greek
journalist, Maria Markouli, writing on Little People:
"Artfully embroidered compositions, resonate with crystal
vocals. It was as if Joni Mitchell had exchanged a secret with Lara,
to which she kept and then later revealed with such originality, in
her own distinctly unique voice. A Greek-Canadian with Lebanese
roots, she is the new blood of cosmopolitan folk."
The
Lara Collective will be at Sweet Grassmarket (Venue
18) Aug 15 and 16 19:45 (45mins) £10.00 (£8.00)
