Bio
The music of singer/songwriter/guitarist Laurel Wiley garners it's strength and charm from a perspective that is distinctly feminine, yet at the same time draws on the universal truths of love and loss. From introspective themes carefully woven within lasting melodies, she evokes an ethereal sense with an ironic and sometimes haunting twist. Nancy Wilson of Heart supplements this timeless music with her renowned guitar driven sounds and delicate harmonies.
Wilson's production talents draw enticing colors of sound within the overall musical texture of Wiley's musicthrough integral use of the concert pedal harp and electric cello, along with a seasoning of non-traditional instrumentation.
