The Road to Tpot - Out Now!
Raw. Honest. Hauntingly Beautiful.
Step into a sonic journey through the fragile, fierce, and deeply human.
Music isn’t just something I do, it’s the Language of my being
Laura’s new album ‘The Road to Tpot’ marks a bold new chapter in her musical journey.
5 Pairs of Hands bursts with energy, rooted in Celtic fiddle fire and the joy of collaboration, while Children of War offers a hauntingly beautiful instrumental that carries both sorrow and hope, dedicated to children affected by conflict.
Each track is a glimpse into Laura’s evolving sound, sometimes fierce, sometimes tender, always deeply human. With more new music on the horizon, these releases weave together her Celtic roots and global influences, creating music that resonates far beyond borders.
The best ways to support me are downloading or buying CD’s! both are available via Bandcamp. Thankyou!
