Laura Gibson lives in portland, sings songs and plays a nylon-stringed guitar. She grew up in a small isolated logging town called Coquille, in the South Coast region of Oregon, the daughter of the town’s kindergarten teacher and a forest ranger. She couldn’t tell you what band put out what particular album in what year, but she could probably describe where she was, how she felt and what you talked about, when she first met you, or what the trees looked like the last time her heart was broken...she likes trees.

Laura's musical venturing began a few years ago when she began playing humble shows in Portland (unless you count playing shows at local nursing homes, which she has done for some time). In the Winter/Spring of 2006, she recorded her debut full-length album, "If You Come to Greet Me" with the wonderful Adam Selzer at his Type Foundry studios in portland. Gibson found the perfect backing band in the members of portland based Norfolk and Western. the songs range from sparse and subtle guitar to an orchestra of strings, horns, banjo, vibraphone and singing saw. "If You Come to Greet Me" made its way into the hands of the folks at Hush Records, who were endeared to Laura's delicate songs and gentle spirit. Laura was endeared to the genuine kindness and artistic strength of the hush records community. The record was released November 14, 2006. concurrently, she became the label's official cat-sitter.

*CURRENTLY*
Laura is working on a new full-length record with friend and superengineerproducer Tucker Martine. She is also working on a collaborative project with Avant Electronic artist Ethan Rose. Both records will most likely be released in early 2009.

She has contributed to many recording projects in her spare time (Colin Meloy, The Dodos, White Hinterland, Musee Mecanique, Raulson, Portland Cello Project).

Her goals for the fall/winter are to study bee-keeping, improve her canning techniques and read many U.S. Presidential biographies.

I was inspired by this and so I thought I would share it;

"Affirm to others the vision of the world you want. You are a free, immensely powerful source of life and goodness. Affirm it. Spread it. Radiate it. Think day and night about it and you will see a miracle happen: the greatness of our own life."~Robert Muller

I hope everything is cool there and your world ROCKS!
Karen :)

Thanks again,

So while singing "You Are My Sunshine" to my son, I realized something... You could do a kick ass version of that song... :) Hope all is well!!! I haven't seen your mom in a while. How is she? Is she still in Coquille??
