   About LAURA MEYER
Since 2007 I've performed at venues ranging from a tiny spirit store nestled amid medieval ruins north of Dublin to the main stage at the renowned Telluride Bluegrass Festival, where I've performed for over 10,000 festivarians in the Colorado mountains two years in a row. I chronicled much of 2008’s 30,000 miles of touring through photos, videos, and written entries, which can be found on my official website. After completing a marathon tour at last summer’s Rocky Mountain Folks Festival I retreated to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I survived a winter without heat by writing more than a hundred songs and poems, which I'm ready to return to the road that inspired them, on Miles From Nowhere, out September 22, 2009. Tour starts in Cleveland September 25. See you soon.

* SONGWRITING HONORS *

Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Competition (2007-2009), Winner of Great Waters Songwriting Contest (2008), Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Song Contest (2008-2009), Williamsburg Live Songwriter Finalist (2008), Winner of the Radio Crystal Blue Airplay Vote (2008), Recognized by BMI for Professional Songwriting & Vocal Performance (2007-2008), NEMO/Starbucks Music Makers Competition Finalist (2007), Mountain Stage NewSong Finalist (2007), and 5x recipient of the ASCAPlus Award.
