   About Lauren Lapointe
(for a longer bio click here)

“This girl has got IT!” —Rod Kennedy, Kerrville Folk Festival Founder

“"Butterfly" is just stunning. The production is very well done and in true support of Lauren's beautifully crafted songs and silky voice. A gifted and openhearted storyteller with a flair for melody, this recording is blessed with many "forever" songs...songs made to last.” —Sloan Wainwright, Derby Disc Music recording artist

Savannah GA-based singer/songwriter Lauren Lapointe has been gaining recognition across the country for her soulful songs, unique voice, and strong live performances. Her recent release “Butterfly,” produced by award-winning Tom Prasada-Rao, features 14 tracks of melodic folk-rock that showcase Lapointe’s versatility as a songwriter and vocalist. Her songs include themes such as self-empowerment, following your dreams, as well as story songs inspired by living in the South and growing up in Canada. Lapointe’s influences include Canadian songwriters Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLachlan, and Loreena McKennitt as well as Southern storytellers Bobbie Gentry, Lucinda Williams, and Gillian Welch.

Her 2005 release “Beautiful Shadow” was featured on Georgia Public Radio and aired on 15 stations across the state. The Savannah Morning News described it as “impressive…emphasizing strong songwriting and showcasing Lapointe’s rich alto voice.” The CD was well-received by venues and fans across the country and Lapointe began touring on a full-time basis. She made her debut at the renowned Bluebird Cafe in Nashville in 2006 and has performed at such prestigious venues as the Rockwood Music Hall in NYC, the Jefferson Freedom Cafe in Ft. Worth TX, Anderson Fair in Houston TX, and The Burren Pub in Boston.

“If you see her once, you're sure to come back again and again.”—Sheri's Caffe del Giorno, Greenville SC.

You have some great music & art here on Myspace! I'm putting together called "World 4-Day Art Exhibition & Music Art Fair with a Family Flair 2010", showcasing the talents of film,video,photographers, artists, artisans and musicians. All musicians playing at the fair will be from MySpace, so, if you're interested, please stop by my page for more information.
