OUT FEBRUARY 13, 2026
O California! is a collection of songs that explore our places in the natural world and in each other’s hearts. The recording process was a truly collaborative and joyful experience between Laurie Lewis and her bandmates Brandon Godman, George Guthrie and Hasee Ciaccio. The album features five new originals from Laurie, five traditional songs (some with new lyrics), and the beautiful “Sweet South Anna River” from the pen of Laurie’s mentor and friend Alice Gerrard.
Available on CD, download, and streaming. Order/Stream Here.
