Laura Merrimen is a prolific writer who delivers soulful catchy songs with provoking truthful lyrics. A country girl at heart with a weakness for the big city lights, her music spans those highway lines with her Americana roots and Rock n' Roll know how.

Her first album 'Love Letters For Lonely Hunters' won 2010's Music N.S. award for Country Recording of the Year and was nominated for Female Recording of the Year. She has opened for many including Matt Mays, The Novaks, The Deep Dark Woods and Stephen Fearing.

Currently Merrimen and her band The Hard Tickets have just released their second album 'Midnight Roll'. Co-produced by Merrimen and drummer Brian Murray, it is a spiritual journey into the realm of keep on keepin on.. two dashes of heartache, three shakes of salt and a half tank of gas.
