“What I mean is what is there is there, Life is like that, it is real, I looked at a Blu Ray disc pic on a demo TV screen once and said to myself, this is too good to be real, it was beyond reality, Lauren has music like Alison Moorer that has an edge of reality to it.” Jim Moulton – Country Stars Online
Lauren Adams Bio
"Secret Heart" CD is available at digital retail stores worldwide: CD Baby, iTunes, Yahoo Music, Best Buy, Rhapsody, MSN Music, and DigStation. Thank you for supporting indie music!
Los Angeles has more than its share of stars, but every once in a while, one outside of the famed inner circle shines above the hoopla. On L.A.’s indie music scene, Lauren Adams has developed a reputation for giving her heart and soul to her music. Adams’ music is a fusion of rock, folk, country, and blues, which is better known as Roots or Americana. Her sound is undeniably unique. She has combined her dedication to keeping things real and her spirit of giving back to others in all of her efforts. By doing so, Adams has become one of the most widely respected singer-songwriters in California.
This genuine artist has been a vital part of the L.A. music scene, and continues to do her part in giving back to her community. As host of the long running Americana Music Circle (Kulak’s Woodshed, Hollywood), she has shared the stage with some of the greatest talent from every corner of the globe. More importantly, Lauren has been actively involved with local charitable events, including Hep C Aware (Hepatitis C awareness group) and benefit shows for musicians in need of health care.
Lauren’s own life experiences have shaped this generosity. This Florida native caught the music bug when she was little, which prompted her to attend the Berklee College of Music in MA, before moving out to California. Adams, like most folks, learned far more from the school of hard knocks, but the experiences have left her with a sense of gratitude. She truly appreciates any of the successes or accolades she receives, in being able to live out her dreams by doing what she loves: writing and performing music.
Adams has previously released two albums, “Here Tonight” and “Thirsty”. Lauren nabbed national exposure with “Thirsty” when it was selected for the Lion’s Gate film, “Peaceful Warrior” starring Nick Nolte. The track also received Honorable Mention at the International Songwriting Competition. Lauren’s latest album, “Secret Heart”, is already garnering similar attention. The title track “Secret Heart” has received Honorable Mention at the 2007 International Songwriting Competition, and was written exclusively for an improvised film in the works, “The Canvas”.
With the stellar musicianship on the CD, and production by guitar veteran Nick Newell Kirgo, the album is a virtual who’s who of the L.A. music scene. Kirgo (David Lynch, Julee Cruise, Nels Cline, A.J. Croce, Vonda Shepard), and Adams provide extraordinary guitar work along with the likes of David Sutton (Lucinda Williams, Tracy Chapman) laying down bass, Gary Mallaber (Steve Miller Band, Eddie Money, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen) and Lynn “Skins” Coulter manning the drums, John “JT” Thomas (Bruce Hornsby) rounding things out ..boards, and Jessie Valenzua (Gin Blossoms) smokin’ on harmonica.
Lauren will tour the U.S. and Europe to promote her new CD, “Secret Heart”, and will continue to give audiences what they’ve come to expect from her: real, honest, vivacious, soulful, and thought provoking music performed from the heart.

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
