Back On Stage

Kate interviews Lori Hardman, singer, songwriter and performer from the Seattle Area. She started singing as a child and was strongly influenced by her musical family. As kids they performed whenever they could and she and her sister, Kelly Pearce, who idolized the group, Heart, would pretend to be Anne & Nancy Wilson. Lori was Nancy and Kelly Anne. Encouraged by the fun her family had and singing lessons, Lori developed her talent all through school. Music and performing was what she loved most. That is until she became a mom. She loved that and her daughter more than anything and took time out to raise her daughter. After her daughter was grown, she found herself looking for inspiration again and was drawn back to her first love. With the encouragement and support of her local music community, she started Lori Hardman Band and has grown continually performing and recording music that has spanned the globe. She has won awards and had hits in the UK, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Ireland, as well as the US. Lori is known for her strong vocals and diversity of style delivering strong performances in Blues, Country, R&B and Rock & Roll. Along with Robert Hammerstrom she has written 15 original songs available on YouTube and most music venues, Tune in for an inspiring show.
