End Code To Apply Top Banner !!!.. .... ..........SUBSCRIBE TO THE MAILING LIST............to get the latest information on OTR releases and upcoming shows in your area.... .. .. .. The path to ..Keep Talking.., the new record by Laura Tsaggaris on Overtime Records, is an inspiring tale of self-discovery. Seemingly out of nowhere, an artist has arrived fully evolved. But Laura’s true story is a saga of toiling under the radar until the day her music was ready to be heard. And ready it is. ..Keep Talking.. is a DIY masterpiece oozing with passion and a savvy worldview. Born in Reading, Pa. and raised in Pittsburgh, Laura’s early life gave few indications of her eventual calling. A gifted athlete, Laura (last name pronounced “suh-GAIR-iss”) attended The College of Wiliam & Mary on a tennis scholarship and graduated with a degree in finance. Before leaving for college, her father presented her with a guitar—an event that would prove to shape the rest of her life. Laura learned to assuage her social anxieties through hours of playing the few chords he’d shown her. She had a knack for making popular songs her own and was soon putting these influences to use as a songwriter. Upon graduation, the pull of corporate life and a steady paycheck--not to mention the stage fright that relegated her performances to the bathroom—postponed the inevitable. The harder Laura tried to ignore her secret dream of becoming a celebrated artist, the more she was driven to heed the call. While working at a Washington, D.C. law firm, Laura recorded her first record, ..Proof.., in 2005. The title is a telling indication of where Laura’s life was headed. With this work, she now had proof of what she had always suspected--she was an artist the world needed to hear. Galvanized by the reaction to her debut, Laura embarked on a tour of the country to promote the album and launch her career as a performer. After the cycle of touring ended in 2008, Laura began working on ..Keep Talking... From the cautionary “Warning Signs” to the life-affirming “Get Yourself Right” to the hyper-personal “Pilots”, ..Keep Talking.. is a rare effort that rocks, soothes and inspires. ..Keep Talking.. is slated for release May 5th, 2009. ................
