Bio / Background
the Songwriter and Musician
Lara Herscovitch is "fresh and invigorating" (Music Morsels) - “one hell of a find” (New Haven Advocate). A unique and charismatic singer and songwriter, her original music is a skillful blend of acoustic/folk, pop, and world styles. Her “delicious” (Indie-Music.com) songs are smart, poetic and witty, and “masterfully” (Womenfolk.net) merge soulful melodies with “perfect wordcrafting” (New Haven Advocate) and “keen intelligence” (The Chronicle). She is always engaging, “a remarkable performer” (WSHU) who sings with a voice “clear and smooth like expensive liquor” (Northeast Performer). Whether “complemented by her band or going solo, Lara charms her audience with warmth and humor” (Rhapsody In Brew).
“Herscovitch is polished and cool, and swings convincingly from moody to upbeat, in English and Spanish” (Record-Journal). Her songs cover a wide range of topics from personal to global/sociological.
↓ more ↓No matter which of her songs or albums you hear, “the more you listen, the more you will like what she does” (Green Man Review); it is “pure musical poetry” (The Courier).
Lara has three albums to her credit, Juror Number 13 (2006), There (2002), and Sin Tierra (2000); all spotlighting her “great and refreshing sound” (Acoustic Café). She tours solo and with her band.

Designed as a socially responsible company in keeping with her spirit, Herscovitch’s la Rama Records (“the branch”) uses recycled products and donates 10% of CD sales to nonprofit environmental organizations.
