Lara Herscovitch is new folk / Americana singer-songwriter-poet-performer gem. As described in The Boston Globe, she brings “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence… big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life… Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” She leads with authenticity, integrity, humor and heart.

Her new trio, the Highway Philosophers, brings together critically-acclaimed musicians from modern folk, pop/rock and jazz traditions, blending into a modern Americana sound all their own. The group’s depth of experience and authenticity, integrity, heart and humor pair perfectly with Lara’s songs — which Sound Waves Magazine described as “expertly written prose… songwriting at its best… good for your ears AND your soul.” And with a voice Performer Magazine called “clear and smooth like expensive liquor.” Their inspiring, uplifting, one-of-a-kind concerts are not to be missed.

The wisdom in Lara’s artistry comes from her decades of humanitarian work, focused on education, community development, environmental protection, and justice system reform. The depth of this experience resonates throughout her music; as Acoustic Live in New York City described, “She possesses not only a huge reservoir of musical talent and a voice with a bell-like clarity, but a keen sense of global concern and a fierce intellect… It might seem too good to be true, but true it is.”
