Program

Country singer Laura Cantrell has balanced different aspects of her music life over the course of a 20-plus years career, whether as a recording artist, radio host, writer, or working parent of a high-school-aged musician. Well-known as a recording artist with a devoted following in the U.S. and U.K., and as the host of Dark Horse Radio, a program devoted to George Harrison on SiriusXM’s The Beatles Channel, or as a performer curating States of Country, her monthly live series exploring regional diversity in country music, Cantrell has expressed her passion for country music through various platforms. In 2023, she released Just Like A Rose: The Anniversary Sessions, an album of original music celebrating her first 20 years of striking this balance. Just Like A Rose is a buoyant collection showcasing Cantrell’s songcraft, sense of history, and conviction as a modern woman singing country music.

Cantrell’s music has been celebrated in the press, including features in the New York Times, O Magazine, Elle, the Wall Street Journal, the Sunday Times of London, and Maverick Magazine. Cantrell’s music has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, On Point, and Weekend Edition, as well as the BBC’s Women’s Hour. She has performed on A Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, and the Grand Old Opry, and appeared on the television programs Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show. She is currently the host of Dark Horse Radio, SiriusXM’s program about George Harrison that runs on The Beatles Channel, and States of Country on the streaming service GimmeCountry.
