About Us
Tapestry Road Acoustic Duo
Timeless Tunes. Woven with Heart
Tapestry Road is a Minneapolis-based folk-rock duo known for their entertaining originals and fresh acoustic takes on the songs everyone knows and loves. Combining the songwriting and musical talents of Brenna Larson (fingerpicking guitar, vocals) and Scott Strauss (bass guitar, vocals), the pair delivers a nostalgic and joyful celebration of the '60s and '70s folk-rock era.
Their upbeat show weaves together the iconic hits of Carole King, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and Cat Stevens with sharp, witty original tunes. More than just a concert, their performance tells the story of two lifelong musicians who recently crossed paths, fell hard for one another, and found a shared musical identity. Through sweet harmonies and playful "true confessions" songs, they mix Laurel Canyon classics with their own intimate songs of love, humor, and wisdom.
Performing primarily as a duo (and sometimes expanding to a trio or quartet), Tapestry Road brings their happy vibes to a wide array of listening venues, festivals, private events, songwriter showcases, house concerts, and cafe gigs. Every performance is an entertaining journey that takes audiences back in time, celebrates the soundtrack of our lives, and makes you laugh along the way.
Our Story
Tapestry Road: A romantic journey
What happens when two lifelong musicians find each other later in life? If they're amazingly lucky, they fall in love and inspire each other to create their own special music together.
A Folk Singer with Southern roots, BRENNA LARSON began performing and playing guitar in Atlanta at age 15. A classically-trained musician, she fell in love with the songs of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and more. Brenna pursued a folk career for over a decade before choosing a global corporate career, raising two daughters and writing songs in her spare time.
A Motown Rock & Roller at his core, SCOTT STRAUSS also started performing in his teens. Hailing from Detroit, he thrived on rock, funk and soul music. He played bass and guitar in bands with his brother, Gary, throughout the 70s and toured with R&B artists like Carl Carlton, best known for his hits “Everlasting Love” and “She’s a Bad Mama Jama.” He, too, transitioned to a corporate career while raising a family over the following decades.
When the pair met in 2025, both were retired, unattached, and performing in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Brenna had released her first solo album, LIKE FINE WINE, a collection of folk originals, and Scott was a well-known bassist in several are tribute bands. It was only a matter of weeks before they were writing love songs with each other and marveling at their parallel life paths that brought them together.
Brenna and Scott launched Tapestry Road to share their talents and passion for bringing people together with songs and stories. They combine their skills, talents, and love of folk and rock music in a unique sound all their own.
Join them on a romantic folk-rock journey filled with timeless tunes woven with heart!
