Hailing from the Phoenix area, the originally acoustic duo of Danny Godbold (keys, guitar, vocals) and James Mulhern (guitar, percussion, vocals), aka What Laura Says, began documenting their stories through musical form, recording track after track of sweet melodies and multi-part vocal harmonies, resulting in a raw and honest sound. The two dubbed their project, "What Laura Says Thinks and Feels" (eventually shortening it to its current incarnation) and in 2006, added drummer Greg Muller, bassist Mitch Freedom, and percussionist and overall weird shit player Jacob Woolsey.
