Not just a thoughtful singer-songwriter, and not just a soulful funk diva, musician Laura Cheadle offers audiences a lively performance filled with upbeat introspection.
This New Jersey native, who has recently completed her second independently released studio album entitled Live On, has opened for The Jonas Brothers, Sister Hazel, Spin Doctors, and Constantine Maraoulis of American Idol. Cheadle was featured on 6 ABC's "TUNED IN" segment as their very first Viewer's Choice where she and her music were profiled recently.
"Laura Cheadle is a young, jeans-wearing singer & multi-instrumentalist who writes songs in the coffeeshop-love-song tradition & renders them in a smooth-funky, B3 kind of way".
--Time Out NY
"...Not only does Laura have the voice and the looks to back up her musical talent, but she also has that indescribable “it” star quality that hoists her a level or two above most other extremely talented local acts."
--Philadelphia Music Examiner

LAURA CHEADLE - LIVE ON
Getting off to a rousing start with the lively and exciting “Constantly,” this album offers one delightfully snappy, thrilling and spot-on pop-rock song after another. Laura Cheadle’s wonderfully warm, husky and robust full-throated voice belts out the thoughtful lyrics with infectiously hearty aplomb. The arrangements are crisp and tuneful, with the steady drums, equally sturdy basslines, and buzzing guitars keeping the music rich, catchy, funky, and flavorsome throughout. The songs neatly alternate between touching and subdued introspection (the moving “Answer Within Me,” the neatly bumping “In the AM”) and more energetic rock-outs (the smooth-grooving blast “Funk is Dead,” the punchy raver “Whatever Moves You”) with always pleasing and often uplifting results. A very cool and worthwhile album."

"Laura Cheadle makes singing seem easy. She’s teeming with the sort of soul that other artists can only dream of. And if her studio performance is any indication, she puts on an awesome live show."

Hey Laura, pray for No Snow in February and I promise i'll make the 2/6 Crash Mansion show! (just promise you'll be barefoot in NYC again that night, lol).
Maybe, just maybe 11/24 I can make Chick Singer Night at the Bitter End, I doubt it...but don't count me out :)
