Lara Eastburn writes a lot of songs and plays a little banjo. There’s no place she’d rather be than on a front porch with her best friends, Music Weekend Over 20 years and a hundred songs later, she picked up the banjo during lockdown. Little Banjo is her first solo project. This Southern spitfire is a pensive wordsmith, crafting lyrical landscapes she likes to call “Mississippi Mud Church." Born in Tennessee, raised in Mississippi, schooled in Alabama & Georgia - and now living and picking in Texas.

”I’ve been writing and recording Kin for over two and a half years. It is imagined as an old-school album – a story meant to be heard from beginning to end.

Each song is a thread pulled from the lives and voices of those who came before me – my ancestors, my blood, my kin. A gift received from the souls whose stories have shaped the writing of my own.

This project has been joy, doubt, surrender, and awe. A profound journey for me personally into the invisible roots that connect us – and carry us forward.

It is my hope that it touches you in some way, as it has touched me.”
