Laura Marie is an example of the latest in singer-songwriters from the Lone Star State of Texas to make a difference in the music world of her home state and the world. While she has been compared to Norah Jones, Chrissy Hynde, and Carole King in the genre of Americana, Pop, and Rock Music; her style is unique.
She was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and started music at an early age by performing with bands such as the group Things Between and Sofa Kingdom. Laura Marie also worked in different areas related to music such as a backup vocal singer and voice overs.
Laura Marie studied music education at St. Mary’s University and graduated with a degree in that career with high honours. She continued her work in the music field as choir director for a local grade school until she made the decision to initiate a career as a singer.
Laura Marie proceeded to give concerts in distinct establishments of San Antonio, Texas such as Bohemeos, Dirty Dog, Casa Chiapas, Tin Roof, Candlelight Coffeehouse, Guadalupe Street Coffee, Rockhills Cafe, and Little Aussie Cafe and Bakery. She was an immediate success in the San Antonio area.
The first album of Laura Marie was released in the year 2007. The title is “Drawn” and was co-produced by Mack Damon. Mack Damon is a five time winner of the Grammy Award whose magic touch produces great hits in artists that deserve to be heard.
The album was well received and played in different venues such as radio stations including Radio Free Texas and Phoenix Radio. In the year 2010, Laura Marie released her second CD titled “Last Of The Ones” which consolidated her hold in the Texas Americana Scene.
The songs such as “Love You Like Me” is one of the songs from this newly released CD. It evokes a desire to view the positive aspects of love and loyalty in love as perceived by the writer. It is a great song that is an alternative to the current mainstream music love songs because the song has meaning and feelings.
The “Last Of The Ones” has other gems such as “What’s It Like”, “The Moon The Sun”, and “Last Of The Ones” which are examples of the versatility of Laura Marie. The Album is one of the few that is worth listening to entirely since the verses and the music are relaxing and tranquil.
Laura Marie is one of the greatest in Texas and Americana Music who deserves to be heard since she is down to earth. The world is better because of her music and personality.
