Denver songstress Katey Laurel returns to Avon

Denver songstress Katey Laurel is back in town for a free show at Loaded Joe’s in Avon Saturday night. Laurel is beginning to make waves in Colorado’s music sea: She was a 2011 Denver Westword singer-songwriter of the year nominee, third on Denver 7’s A-List for best local band and winner of the 2011 Texaco Country Showdown Colorado. Her music appeals to fans of Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Jewel and Sheryl Crow. “As enjoyable as it is to write and record in the studio, I love connecting with people in a live setting,” Laurel said. “Seeing people have a good time and hearing how my songs touch their lives makes my day.” The show starts at 9 p.m. Call 970-748-1480 to learn more.
