Anela Lauren, Celtic Harp – Oregon Coast Wedding Music
Make your day even more special with live harp music. It will soothe weary travelers, uplift the hearts of even your least favorite family members, and create an unforgettable bridal entrance. I’d love to work with you to bring your dreams to life!
Anela Lauren is a classically trained pianist and harpist who has discovered that the freedom of jazz and improvisation provide meaning and connection in an ever changing world. Anela has found her calling in adapting a wide range of music to the celtic harp; particularly contemporary folk, world and rock. Anela also brings her own unique interpretation to classical, traditional and Celtic music.
Anela is a confessed natural beauty junkie. She spent 20 years in the Hawaiian Islands, mostly on the garden island of Kaua’i. She has spent some time in Taos, New Mexico, and the beautiful music mecca of Lyons, Colorado was home until last year. While in Hawai’i, she developed her distinctive style – fluid and graceful improvisation with kaleidoscopic overtones.
Following the 2013 release of “Harpin’ on the Dead”, Anela formed a trio with Grateful Dead Hour’s David Gans and slack-key great Stephen Inglis entitled Fragile Thunder. This dynamic and innovative group has played at the Skull & Roses festival, Just Exactly Perfect festival, and the Days Between.
Anela recently moved to Coos Bay, Oregon and is looking forward to connecting with the local community.
Absolutely wonderful!
“Anela is an accomplished musician! She was attentive to every detail and our requests. Anela also showed genuine joy when she was playing her harp and even when she was taking her moments of pause. We loved her gentleness and eagerness to please. We hired Anela trough Gig Salad and all of our guests at the wedding, during the ceremony and the reception, just adored her! We would definitely hire Anela Lauren again for any events. Thank you Anela!!”
