Celtic music is at the heart of Laura Powers' style which also incorporates New Age, Pop and Folk elements. The theme of her current project revolves around the mythology of the Celtic goddess. The production features Irish flute, mandolin, cello and Uileann pipes which provide the background for richly layered vocals. From songs like the mythical "Morrighan's Quest" to "My Avalon" her music captures the heart and soothes the spirit.
"This beautiful, melodic music just carries me away to a wonderful place inside of myself and back in time. My favorites are "My Avalon," "I Surrender All," and "Circle of Stone." I loved the book "The Mists of Avalon" and this CD has the same beautiful magic as the book. The lyrics in the song "My Avalon" I especially relate to. Laura Powers takes you beyond Celtic music to a fusion of ancient, modern, and folk music that I haven't heard anywhere else. Her songs evoke the past but with modern emotions. They are very powerful, soothing, and lovely."

"I am sorry I waited so long to buy music by Laura Powers. This was my first CD and WOW! I can close my eyes and I am transformed to another place. The song "Circle of stone" almost takes my breath away. After listening to this CD I ordered every CD she has available."

"Legends of the Goddess is enchanting and magical. Laura Powers is poetic and has the voice of an angel. Very unique music. One of the absolute best albums to come along in along time. Take a journey to a time of magic and enchantment, glory and beauty. I strongly recommend this cd. All Laura's work is impressive, an artist in many fields, song writing/singer, painting, check out her web site. Laura Powers is 5 stars in my book, I know you'll like this cd as much as I did."

"After watching the recent miniseries "The Mists of Avalon", I visited the CD "Legends of the Goddess" by Laura Powers. It was a great companion for the video experience, as common themes run through both pieces. Though the CD features instruments from classic Celtic music, it's brought up to date with wonderfully lush production & vocals. P.S. Nice to hear strong songwriting in this genre."
