Biography:

Raised in the suburbia of Pittsburgh, PA, Laura’s early life gave few indications of her eventual calling. She attended The College of William & Mary on a tennis scholarship and graduated with a degree in finance. While working at a Washington, D.C. law firm, Laura started her own record label, Overtime Records, and recorded her first album, Proof, in 2005.

Galvanized by the local, national and international reaction to her debut, Laura quit her job, packed her bags and toured the country alone to promote the record and launch her career as a performer. After the cycle of touring ended in 2008, Laura began work on her second studio album, Keep Talking.

From the cautionary “Warning Signs” to the life-affirming “Get Yourself Right” to the hyper-personal “Pilots”, Keep Talking is a rare effort that rocks, soothes and inspired The Washington Post to write, “When a singer-songwriter builds an array of songs, often arising from a solid pop foundation with a splash of blues, a touch of rock and a hint of soul, that affirms a genuine musical gift.”

Laura has three current arrangements: solo acoustic, acoustic with cello, and full band. She embarks on a solo acoustic U.S. tour in support of “Keep Talking” in September of 2010. Her set features songs to be included on the next studio album, projected for a fall 2011 release..
