Custer LaRue

Custer LaRue is an American soprano celebrated for her enchanting interpretations of early music, traditional folk ballads, and spirituals. With a voice described as crystalline and expressive, she’s carved a niche in reviving centuries-old songs from Appalachia, Ireland, Scotland, and early America. A longtime collaborator with the Baltimore Consort, LaRue brings warmth and storytelling flair to albums like *The Mad Buckgoat (Ancient Music of Ireland)* and *Lullaby Journey*, blending scholarly rigor with heartfelt authenticity. Her solo projects, such as *The Lover’s Farewell - Appalachian Folk Ballads* and *Daemon Lover*, highlight her knack for breathing new life into haunting narratives and regional folk traditions. Whether tackling Scottish chamber music or early American spirituals like *Amazing Grace*, LaRue’s work feels like a bridge between past and present—a cozy campfire session with history itself.
