Lauren Whistler

Lauren grew up in Buffalo, NY where she taught herself how to play the guitar and the piano. She was raised on the music of the 60's and 70's such as the Beatles and Joni Mitchell. Later Lauren was exposed to such female artists as Sarah McLachlan and her fellow Buffalonian, Ani Difranco. After performing religiously at local open mic's throughout high school, Lauren soon developed a devout following of friends and fans. In early 2002 "Rumble, Rumble" was released by the artist. The feedback from the collection of funky, folky, soulful music was overwhelming. Accompanied by bass player Jack Phinney, Lauren performed several shows before moving to California.

Having lived in San Francisco for the past decade playing music under a multitude of aliases, Lauren is now working on material for another solo album that is a sharp contrast to her debut release.

Lauren continues to reach people, even on the West Coast and now globally, and has been working hard to fuse together her passions; jazz, folk, and electronica. While she is currently playing solo, Lauren is evolving and innovating her own sound with the help of talented musicians and top producers from around the globe.
