Laura Marie

Texas singer songwriter Laura Marie pulls together pop, folk and jazz influences to color her deeply introspective lyrics about truth, life and love. Laura Marie's lyrics are both touching and personal. She gets to the heart of the matter with a voice somewhat familiar, yet distinctly her own. As a songwriter, she is known for her poignant and striking wordplay (?Wait,? ?In Code,? ?Still") while her smooth vocal style has been described as 'smooth as 100 year-old scotch'. Laura Marie's music has been favorably compared to songwriters Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, and Tracy Chapman.
