BIOGRAPHYwww.laurielarson.com
American singer and songwriter Laurie Larson has just released her third album, "A Striking Resemblance".
It is on the Grammy Ballot for "Best Pop Vocal Album" and "Album of the Year".
Global Rhythm Magazine placed "A Call to Action" from it on their January / February 2008 Collector's CD, their review: "There's a bit of the desert in Arizona-based Laurie Larson's stately folk-pop songs. Her zephyr-like tenor brings a solitary, mournful air to the opening of "A Call to Action", pushing the song into a double-time beat that flies by like the mile markers on an open highway." Global Rhythm Magazine came back again in March to add "Utopia" on their CD, then picked "1 Realm" for their June CD. Relix Magazine has also chosen the title track to "A Striking Resemblance" for their November 2008 CD Sampler along with Joan Osborne, Burning Spear and Lucinda Williams.
From her prior release "Aquila", "Architect of Dreams" was on the Crossroads CD Sampler with EmmyLou Harris, Mary Youngblood and Buckethead. The tracks on her CD were ordered by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield and Poco.
Laurie was born in Kalispell, Montana. She began playing music at age 7, and can play guitar, violin, piano, banjo, but she considers herself mostly a bass player. She ran twice for the Arizona House of Representatives and has been a web designer for several candidates from Congressional Races to Governor. Her art and photography is also available at several galleries in the Phoenix area. http://laurielarson.imagekind.com/Astrophotography A lifelong radio DJ, consultant and rock & roll music director, she has also been a Program Director and Operations Manager for multiple cluster stations, in the southwest and California. Laurie has also worked in state and city government, education and for Kitt Peak National Observatory. She recently founded the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame in 2008.

“Country music is truly music for everyone,” said Tim McGraw, as he and his wife Faith Hill prepared to announce the Country Music Association’s 2009 “Entertainer of the Year” award. “And that’s never been more apparent than with the diversity of tonight’s nominees.”

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record. I wanted there to be bells and whistles and full band arrangements even if I didn’t want it necessarily to be electric guitar rock....

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”
