Growing up on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Laura Merrimen spent a lot of time sailing and running around in the woods. Half tom-boy and a wide-eyed beauty, she can't help but draw her musical influence from the landscapes that surrounded her and the relationships she encounters. At 26, Laura is an old soul who easily warms a room with her smokey voice and has a knack for cutting straight to listeners hearts. An Americana induced sound with country-blues undertones, her honest lyrics will reel you in and keep the listener wanting more.
Armed with her new album 'Love Letters For Lonely Hunters' you can expect to hear more good things about and from this talented young lady.
