music, and spirited ensembles like Orquestra Nightingale. Her genres

recordings are widely used by teachers, nurses, massage therapists and
others to enhance their professional and personal lives.

Laura Sue's original "Against the Law" appears on the 2011 Folk
Alliance International compilation CD "Songs of War and Politics". Her
"No Nukes Swing" was released on the 66th anniversary of the atomic
bombing of Hiroshima, and will appear on the Syracuse Peace Council

traditional song "Sakura" was made to support the Japanese people after
the Fukushima disaster, and released on the 25th anniversary of the
Chernobyl disaster.

Laura Sue is active with community groups involved in interfaith,
cultural, environmental, peace and veterans initiatives. She feels a
special calling to play for people at the end of life and facing
life-challenging illness, as well as those grieving the loss of dear
ones. To that end, she's played bedside in homes and hospitals, at
memorial services, educational and fundraising events for hospices
throughout Florida for over 18 years. In 2011, Laura Sue received the
prestigious President's Volunteer Service Award from President Obama
for her hospice work.
