"Here's a Canada-Savannah transplant who carved out a standing in our country's corporate catacombs, then pitched it all over for a full-scale fling at singing and songwriting. Good move? She's virtually commanded the acoustic scene in coastal Georgia, opened for several national acts, and knocked out a critically-acclaimed first CD that landed her a feature on the state's public radio network." - Keith Harrelson, Moonlight Music Cafe, Birmingham AL

"Lauren has that natural charisma that draws people in. She can win over any room, anytime and at any place. I saw her play after a heavy metal band one night and within seconds, the whole club was eating out of her hand." - Kyle Shiver, Highway Child Records
