Here's what they're saying:

 

"You are a pro. Excellent lyric, melody, performance, guitar playing.
You should "
-- Andre Pessis, WCSA North Bay Open Mike Judge, award-winning songwriter for
Tim McGraw, Bonnie Raitt, and others, 15 hits, 20 miliion records sold

 

"Expertly crafted songs, accessible and compelling, performed with
a seasoned finesse and a vocal quality that is honest and direct."
—Carol B, RI MUSE Magazine

 

"For me, one singer/songwriter stood out, a folk/country guitarist "
— Bill Blum, Essential Films

 

"Laura's songwriting gets better and better and Memorial Day is a classic track with the same kind of emotional impact as Independence Day or Society's Child ... a whole new way of looking at a sociopolitical issue ... and there are lighter moments too, but every track makes you stop and reflect upon your life. Don't miss it."
— Richard Scott, Raleigh Register

 

"Laura's songwriting skills, both lyrical and composition, are a bit like taking a long walk with a great friend on a winding path... new yet comfortable surprises around every turn, words that are penned with the grace and vision that only a good storyteller possesses.  Her live performances are engaging and her audience rapport is refreshingly honest and spontaneous.  She has a superbly "human" quality about her that is both humble and effervescent, two qualities too often missing in many performers today.  Laura gets back to basics and does them very well." 
-- K.C. Frogge, singer/songwriter, Oakland, CA

 

“You are a true poet. Your songs tell a story, and create beautiful images with metaphors, and words that just fall together so well. I feel your heart, and your soul coming through and i must say I feel quite touched.”
 
"Few performances move me so much that I have to let the artist know how much. Your sweet, pure tone & unique enunciation (that I can actually understand) combined to perfection. Your songs are so real (I was transfixed by "Object in The Mirror") – EVERY ONE has such wonderful lyrics that probably speak for so many people."
  
"Left Foot Forward is perfect from beginning to end.  Laura's lyrics are intelligent and insightful; her musicianship impecable; and her voice is pure and sweet, at times playful, at times haunting and at times a little bluesy.I have given this cd to all my music-loving friends--everyone thinks its truly amazing!  I can't wait for her next effort.  Laura's a little, tiny, curly-haired gal with a great big heart and a great big voice!  She's going places!"

 

"Well, I’m a little biased, but I am a BIG fan. When Laura writes a new song, sometimes she’ll call me and play it on her guitar over the phone. I always think it’s the best song I’ve ever heard. My band has played some of her songs to rave reviews”
---Arna Zucker, jazz & blues singer, RI / arnaworld.com

 

This chick is is freakin awesome. The place is packed everytime she plays, and by the time she leaves, all the paintings are sold!
