The Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism appointed singer-songwriter Lara Herscovitch of Durham CT as the new State Troubadour for 2009 and 2010. Lara's music is an original blend of acoustic/folk, flavored with pop, Latin, jazz, and blues. Lara Herscovitch was recommended by a panel of music professionals which included the 2007 and 2008 Connecticut State Troubadour, Pierce Campbell.
Connecticut established the State Troubadour designation in 1991. The State Troubadour functions as an ambassador of music and song to encourage cultural literacy and promote the state of Connecticut.
