One-Sentence Bios for your press needs:

Laura McLean is a native of Wilmington NC and and a long time arts and education activist. (who is never at a loss for words or guitar riffs..)

Laura McLean, the fluid lead guitarist of Calamity and Someone's Sister, also runs her own recording studio/record label, under the moniker of Coolcalm. ....(and drinks too many melita-filtered javas)

Laura McLean has been called the Swiss Army Knife of the Arts in the Cape Fear region. (among other things....)

From folk to rock to hiphop, to faux Hindu versions of Bobby McGee and Dylan/Julia Childs versions of What's Up...McLean has maintained her own distinct  GnL Superhawk  (double humbuckers w/classic floating Kahler tremolo....awwww..ahem...)..sound while absorbing info, honing skills and forging her musical future from the carolina moss and sand of her roots to the cutting edge studio voodoo of today's constantly-changing song landscapes.

She can PLAY. (She enjoys it too much, say some)
