LAURIE MCCLAIN

“Laurie has got to be from another planet. I’ve never met anyone – except maybe Richie Havens – who is so open-hearted and full of love for humanity, yet who appears to experience life on a different plane than everybody else. Her music is as innocent as it is informed by experience, as playful as it is rooted, and as detail-oriented as it is grand in scope. Lucky for the rest of us, she’s translated her Earthly experience onto record, and called it Ascend.”
-DEVON SPROULE

“Laurie is a true artist. She opens hearts and sings from a place of depth and love. She held my tough NYC audience with her masterful storytelling, strong lyrics and vulnerable voice, moving them to tears and laughter. If she is performing anywhere near you, run to see her. You will not be disappointed; you will be transformed.”-KATHRYN, KATHRYN’S HOUSE CONCERT SERIES, NYC

“Laurie’s voice has a raw, genuine classic folk resonance that pulls you into every song.”
-SINGER MAGAZINE

“Laurie turns each venue into her own living room, and each listener into a new friend with her disarming humor and passionate performance. Laurie’s songs explore the themes of identity, growth, friendship and love in a way that always honors the fundamental mysteries of the human journey. In this Mecca of songwriters, she is a gem of uniqueness and authenticity.”
