Laura Marie: Bio

Laura Marie - Singer/Songwriter

Laura Marie was born in and raised in San Antonio, Tx. where she performed and recorded with local bands Sofa Kingdom and Things Between and did voice over and backing vocal work in a number of local studios. She graduated from St. Mary's University with a degree in music education and was a grade school choir director before giving in to her compulsive lyric writing habit and becoming a full time musician. Her first full-length solo CD titled, Drawn was released in 2007 and was co-produced by five-time Grammy nominated producer, Mack Damon.

Fans are quickly hooked on her own brand of pop-folk songwriting. Her lyrics are both touching and personal. Laura Marie 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, Shawn Colvin and John Mayer.
