Songwriters@Scup #39: Laura Jane Vincent, Glenn Torrico, and Bob Bedell

Songwriters@Scup is a monthly "songwriters in the round" event, sponsored by Mark Dillon and Doug Baker, and hosted by Scuppernong Books.

Laura Jane Vincent is a performer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer-songwriter. She writes ballads of loss and triumph featuring those who should know better but can't help themselves. her music is rooted in Southern musical traditions of songwriting & storytelling but her indie influences shine through in both the Melodies and guitar riffs. She is also the CEO of her record label, Street Place Records and curates the twice yearly music festival Glendonfest in Moore County, NC.

Glenn Alan Torrico began his attempt at reaching adulthood in Buffalo then on to Maine, Phoenix, rural Florida and most recently, Greensboro. His show reflects the same restlessnessand dynamic diversity. He is a competent though quirky guitarist with influences of blues, classic country and jazz with an ample dose of Doc Watson. His songs can be subtle, emotional, crafty and poetic but more often, his lyrics are simple, whimsical and thoroughly absurd. His show can be summoned up in one short word: fun!

Bob Bedell is a singer-songwriter out of Pittsboro, NC, who has been writing and performing original for decades. The last few years, Bob has turned his focus from playing in bands to being a solo singer-songwriter. He writes with an eclectic style of Americana pulling from indie folk/rock, alt-country, and blues. His songwriting is ambitious and endearing, leaning on love, loss, understanding, renewal, and reaction for the clarity found in life. He is currently working on his first solo album.
Bob loves to watch how people react to his songs.... Stop in, say hello, stay a while - listen to the music, clap, sing along, ask questions, and make some new friends! Good Music, Good Friends, and Good Vibes!
