Bio

While Laura Blackley's philosophy might sound painful, it describes her to a tee--country heartbreak mixed with bourbon-soaked blues and backwater gospel soul. "I've played every juke joint and beer hall in the Southeast that's worth playing," Blackley claims. "And I won't be squeezing down into them outfits like Britney anytime soon. But I will be delivering honest, genuine songs about murder, love, ghosts and demons..."
