Mystery of Spring

Written by Administrator
Thursday, 02 April 2009 15:11
Ah...color! Well, actually it's grey for the umpteenth day in a row, but all kinds of things are blooming. All the dogwoods and plums and pear trees are beautiful and gardens are starting to take shape along my blue highway routes. Spring venues are yawning to life and booking some dates. The car is making several new strange noises which must be covered up by the stereo. My musical endeavors are taking shape as follows: I am readying 2 new discs for release in May. VA Women's Festival attendees will be the first to access the new merch table, which will feature a few surprises....just you wait! : } I keep changing the titles, and might have to resort to a vote before all is said and done. One disc will remain roots-oriented with an AAA feel, and the other is a balls-out guitar splurge which celebrates ADDHD listeners and the marriage of live licks to loops. The roots CD will contain songs I've been doing at live shows and some newbies. The tentative lineup looks like this so far: Deep Trance Face of the Sun Emotocoaster Lucky Charm Debris QOD Get So Gone Stormy Park Cold As the Pope Snafu Blue Crinoline SpaceHeater Echo Theme From A.D.D.

Bio

LM at NYC's Bitter End

Laura McLean was indie before indie was cool. It was lonely.

Now the tide has turned and indies outweigh the majors by far, and Laura made her way from folk to pop to rock to shredderville to hiphop and beyond. Forging an L blend that is at once memorable and totally individual, she still rides the edge of the chitlin circuit underground, embracing cult status as a guitarist and cultivating art and education in NC's at-risk youth populations.

Her repertoire is huge, and her fearless spontaniety stands out in the indie crowd.
Folks who show up and sit near the front at an LM gig know they might have to endure an impromptu rap about their orange and purple shoes..or something their dog did in the neighborhood..all's fair in love and hiphop! And who but L would pick up someone's recently vacated lawn chair and play slide guitar with it?
