The voice of Laura Graf has been echoing through the doorways of Austin's legendary lounges, bars, and speakeasy's for the past 20 years with a number of bands, including Round Midnight, Red Smoke, The Greatest American Heros,Stella and The Laura Graf Band.
Laura is gifted with the ability to offer her audience a range of vocal stylings: from scat to soul to soft balladry; throaty blues to sassy jazz to vintage show tunes. On stage, she exudes a striking blend of sexiness, warmth and innocence. But she's not just the girl who sings with the band, Laura's musical direction and arrangement creates a harmonious balance of musicians like notes in a beautiful chord.
Ms. Graf is currently playing local dates with many different players. Working on her second album titled “Deep Blue”.
