Laura Cash

Corvallis, Oregon native, and daughter of Pat and Sharen Weber, Laura Weber began to play music at the age of 9. Her dad had a nice old fiddle that he sent to have restored for her. Without the financial means to do this, but with carpentry as his trade, he built a two story deck on the back of the violin makers house in trade for his restoration work. That marked the beginning of a long musical journey for Laura. She developed a deep love for the fiddle. "My family endured traveling together every summer to many fiddle contests all over the country."

At 17 years old, she placed first in the much coveted National Fiddle Championship at Weiser, Idaho (Junior division). Shortly after high school she moved to Nashville, TN to tour with Patty Loveless, playing fiddle, guitar, mandolin and singing harmony. She then moved to Sakaide, Japan to play in a bluegrass band at a resort for a year. After returning to Nashville, she went back out on the road with several more artists, including Pam Tillis, James House, Chalee Tennison, and many other new artists. "I was honored to appear on Mr. Roy Acuff's show on the Grand Ole Opry, as well as one of 4 fiddlers in Ray Price's band, "The Cherokee Cowboys", again, on the Opry."

In the spring of 1999 she was invited to play fiddle with June Carter Cash on tour to promote her album "Press On". "It was such an honor to meet and play with her," says Laura. She soon met her future husband, June and John's son, John Carter Cash. "We have been married since July 2000 and now have 2 children together, in addition to my step son." Laura has released one album, "Among My Souvenirs".
