With the help of many (and you know who you are!), I am so excited to announce the release of  my brand new EP... a very special little collection of "organically grown" songs inspired by some pretty trying times and then magically captured LIVE (with the exception of a co-write with my soul sister Laura Berman) with some studio "polishing" after the fact.  In addition to two beautiful covers of songs by Carole King and Sara Bareilles, it consists mostly of songs that I wrote in response to things like... oh... the tumultuous election, the first 100 days of a new administration, personal life transitions... let's just say it's been quite a year.  So much to grapple with... AND so much love rising through it all. And hope.  As I'm realizing, it is hope (as in grounded optimism... not to be confused with "wishful thinking") that fuels us... that empowers us. That lifts us. My intention with each song on the EP. 

You can check it out by visiting my website listen/shop page:

There you'll be able to listen to clips and either order a physical CD to be mailed to you ($10 plus shipping) or download. 

If you enjoy the music, are inspired, and wanting to help promote this work, will you do me a favor and go to my CD Baby page and give it a quick review? Even a few words is great. So many people have expressed their love of the new music to me personally (which I'm so grateful for)... and it would be so helpful to have those words on the album page! And SO appreciated! :-)

And... in case you missed it, I also recently released my first official music video (which accompanies the EP) for the single "Watch Love Rise": 

As always, thank you so much for the continued support of me and the music I love to make. I am excited to be touring and continuing to broaden my travel horizons sharing the gift of song with this new release. In addition to performing here in the greater Pacific Northwest, I will be traveling to Colorado and California this fall. Please check my website for specific dates and more info.

Hope you are all enjoying these last days of summer and living WELL!

With Love & Gratitude,
Lauri
