  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. ................................TOUR SCHEDULE:..To see Laura's current tour schedule please visit .... MamasBlackSheep.com...... and.. disappearfear.com............PROFESSIONAL LIVE & STUDIO SUPPORT........[vocals, percussion, drums]......Laura Cerulli is a true professional in every sense of the word. With over fifteen years experience in the music business she is a seasoned player both live and in the studio. She brings to the stage and studio a great musical sensibility combined with professional gear, professional chops, and a refreshing lack of ego. Efficiency and creativity are two of her strongest assets. From 2000-2005, Laura fronted her own band, ..Cerulean Groove.., playing mainly in MD, DC and VA. Since April 2005 Laura has been on tour as part of the group ..SONiA & disappear fear... Recently, Laura has started a new duo with singer-songwriter Ashland Miller called ..Mama's Black Sheep...In between tour dates Laura keeps a busy schedule in the studio and playing fill-in gigs with other artists. She specializes in tasteful percussion and vocal support for singer-songwriters. Laura is versatile in many styles both vocally and instrumentally, yet maintains a unique "sound" all her own. Laura has recently been recording a solo album called "i am here". On this album she gets back to her first instrument, the piano. .... .. ..Testimonials: .. .."What's really special to me about Laura's playing is how well she plays the song, enhancing it with her subtleties, never losing that killer groove. She's all ears, and it's my great pleasure to play with her in any setting.".. -Freebo, Singer-Songwriter, Long-time Bassist with Bonnie Raitt .. .."The best percussionist I have ever played with!" .. -Tom Prasada-Rao, Singer-Songwriter.. .."One percent ego, ninety-nine percent extraordinary talent." ..-SONiA of disappear fear, Singer-Songwriter.. .."An outstanding talent that leaves your jaw dropped!".. -Ashland Miller, Singer-Songwriter, Producer at Rock Star Productions, LLC.. .."Laura has great inner rhythm, one of the best drummers i have ever worked with.".. -Dave Weber, Producer at Airtime Studios.. .."Tasty, smart groove, and fun to work with.".. -Randall Williams, Singer-Songwriter.. .."Plenty of power and soul..." ..-Mike Joyce, The Washington Post.. .."Cerullis' drumming on her scaled-down kit, which included a djembe that she played at times with sticks rather that her hands, was notable. It was always supporting the trio with perfect timing and choice of percussive sounds. Even more impressive is the fact that Cerulli sings, and sings well, while drumming, a more difficult feat than one might imagine." .. -Christine LaPado, Chico News & Review (Review of a disappear fear show.).. .."Watching the band, you know immediately you're in the presence of something exciting and new. Then Cerulli opens her mouth and the world stands still as she wrings every drop of emotion out of the lyrics with her powerful, soaring voice, forgedin the fire of the blues and tempered in the cool technique of her classical training." ..-Bob Steele, Baltimore Out Loud (Review of a Cerulean Groove show.) .... ..Recent Discography Highlights: .... 2010 - Unmarked Highway - Mama's Black Sheep.. 2010 - Blood Bones & Baltimore - SONiA & disappear fear .. 2010 - Sam I Am - Sam Weiser.. 2008 - splash - SONiA & disappear fear .. 2008 - Siete Dias - Isabel Umanzor .. 2007 - t a n g o - SONiA & disappear fear .. 2007 - Praying for Land - Randall Williams .. 2006 - i am here - Laura Cerulli (solo album still in progress).. 2005 - DF05 LiVE - SONiA & disappear fear .. 2005 - ASHLAND - Ashland Miller .. 2005 - Inside and Outside - Susan Souza .. 2005 - Great Big World - Lea .. 2005 - Luv Songs for Grown Ups - The Dreamsicles .. 2004 - Over Crooked Tables - Cerulean Groove .. 2004 - Reluctant Believer - Michael Bowers .. 2002 - Chasing Solace - CommonbonD .. 2002 - From Our Circle Too - Compilation of Baltimore Songwriters .. 2002 - From the Underground Vol. 2 - Various Artists .. 2001 - The Cue-Stick Sessions - Cerulean Groove .. ......Laura has performed locally and nationally with: .. ..

    ***About this page:
    I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :)
