Growing up on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Laura Merrimen spent a lot of time sailing and running around in the woods. Half tom-boy and a wide-eyed beauty, she can't help but draw her musical influence from the landscapes that surrounded her and the relationships she encounters. Only 25, Laura is an old soul who easily warms a room with her smokey voice and has a knack for cutting straight to listeners hearts. An Americana induced sound with blues undertones, her honest lyrics will reel you in and keep the listener wanting more.

Currently finishing up her debut album, you can expect to hear more good things about this talented young lady. Recently she shared the stage with 'Cuff the Duke' on their last stop in Halifax and has been featured on CBC in part of 2008 'In the Dead of Winter Festival'.
