Laura Repo

The acoustic-based music of Toronto’s Laura Repo is insightful and resonant. Her wistful songs about relevant issues, fractured souls, and the pleasures and poignancy of modern life are heady with wry commentary, sweet observations and urban folk wisdom. Says Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail, “Repo writes songs remarkably.”

Produced by John Switzer, Laura’s newest release, A Charmed Life, follows 1999's A Mountain of Me; its delivery co-inciding with the birth of Laura’s first child, Sami. Eye Weekly’s Howard Druckman noted that on A Charmed Life, Laura, “an underappreciated light on the local scene for the past decade, has never sounded better than she does here.... [T]he big-twang guitars, swelling harmonies and Repo’s distinctively rich voice are captivating.”

Laura puts forth an affecting array of heartbreaking melodies, beguiling harmonies and a formidable amount of charm. A regular guest at Joanne Mackell's annual Island Jamboree, Laura has shared the stage with many illustrious artists including Oh Susannnah, Swamperella, The John Borra Band, The Cameron Family Singers, The Backstabbers, Carolyn Mark, Dotty Cormier, The Foggy Hogtown Boys and Mackell’s Paradise Rangers.
