Featured performers include Connecticut-based recording artist Laura Clapp; five-piece folk/rock band from Boston Post Modern Authors; and Boston-based singer-songwriter Kate Diaz. The performers were chosen based on their submissions to theWiMN.com.

“We’re so excited to bring talented women in music to the WGBH Food & Wine Festival. Combined with live music, artisan food and wine, and the support of the WGBH, this will be a great event for everyone attending and performing,” said WiMN Founder, Laura B. Whitmore.

Growing up in Connecticut, Laura Clapp began her piano studies at age 6 and composed her first song when she was 11. Clapp graduated from Berklee College of Music, where she learned guitar and recorded her first CD Where Are You Going? After writing and recording her second CD Simply, she toured America, funded entirely by CD sales and the support of her fans and friends.
As a demonstrator for pro audio company TC-Helicon, Clapp has been featured on several YouTube videos, some with over 450,000 views to date. For more info, visit http://www.lauraclapp.com.
