LAURA LOVE BIO

(LAURA LOVE) will shake the world. The clincher is her live show...Shes that rare artist who can slip from sensitive folk to hip-hop without skipping a beat. -Utne Reader
MEDIA, fans and record labels have struggled to define this inimitable musicians colorful style, which embraces bits of the blues, bluegrass, jazz, folk, gospel, reggae, and country. However, Laura Love has sometimes called her music Folk-Funk, Afro-Celtic, or Hip-Alachian. Regardless of how she is described, Laura has an indisputable and uncanny knack for enthralling audiences from all walks of life, from octogenarians who line up to hear straight-ahead bluegrass to the pierced-and-tattoed set to their middle-aged parents.
THE NEW YORK TIMES proclaimed, Her music is exuberant. ...She conveyed the fervor of someone reaching out with an almost frenzied joy to seize the strand of a confusing life and weave them into a coherent, life-affirming vision. Love has been called, startlingly original by Billboard magazine. Her music is spare, yet striking. Her voice is ripe, supple, strong, and impossible to ignore. A rare recording artist who is authentic and deeply rooted, Love exhibits timeless and diverse appeal. Droves of fans throughout North America, Australia, and Europe apparently agree. Her CDs have repeatedly made Billboards annual Top 10 lists. She has played for massive crowds at various festivals and venues, including New Yorks Carnegie Hall, San Franciscos Great American Music Hall, Royce Hall in Los Angeles, Washington Center for the Arts in Olympia, and the Aladdin Theater in Portland, Oregon. Her festival appearances include the Newport Folk Festival (RI), Telluride Bluegrass Festival (CO), Strawberry Festival (CA), Merlefest (NC), Kate Wolf Festival (CA), Falcon Ridge (NY), Boston Folk Festival, Women in e-Motion (Germany), Philadelphia Folk Festival, Port Fairy, Brunswick, Blue Mountain and Adelaide Fringe Festivals (Australia), and nearly every music festival in Canada, including Montreal Jazz and the Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Mariposa and Winnipeg folk festivals.
After releasing five independently produced CDs from 1990 - 1995, Laura spent a decade working with major and boutique record labels. Her Mercury/Universal releases, co-produced with multi-Grammy award winner Joe Chicarelli, were critically acclaimed and increased her sales from 2,000 a year to 60,000 a year, but alas, highly diverse and unique artists are not easily marketed above ground and Laura was lost in the corporate shuffle of the big leagues. She was perfectly happy to be dropped from Mercury after her second album with them and move on to smaller labels more suited to her values and aesthetic. Laura released four CDs from 2000 - 2005 on Rounder/Zoe and Koch.
In 2007, Laura decided it was time to return to her roots as a light-skinned African American girl, growing up during the 1960s at the very height of the Civil Rights Movement. She assembled a quartet called, HARPERS FERRY and resurrected her old label, Octoroon Biography and released NeGrass (pronounced NEE-Grass), her bold collaboration with Grammy and IBMA award winners Tim OBrien, Tracy Nelson, Rob Ickes, Scott Vestal, Jeff Autry and Mike Bub. NeGrass was named the Best CD of 2007 in the Alt Country category by the Indie Acoustic Project.
In the fall of 2009, Laura released her 11th CD on Octoroon Biography/OJM records titled The Sweeter The Juice - a collaboration with an acknowledged master of country blues guitar and dobro, Orville Johnson. On this record, Laura cements her new focus on race relations in America and her own familys experiences, dating all the way back to slavery. After taking several years off the festival/touring circuit, to raise her daughter, live off the grid and grow her own food, Laura is again returning to the stage to continue where she left off and expand her repertoire to include Field Hollers, Civil Rights Era Songs, Gospel into her deep catalogue of original songs. Just to make it interesting, Laura has also just published a new follow up book, (available here and on Amazon.com) to her critically acclaimed 2004 Hyperion memoir--this one about her year of traveling with the Occupy Movement in 2011. Its called, Nights in Tents and we hope youll pick it up today because, As she often says, Its a GAS!
