About Me

Click on the button below to order your copy of Laura's latest CD, "Leaving Nashvegas," which was recorded LIVE at the French Quarter Cafe.
Laura Clapp grew up in New England. She's brash, she's honest and she's generous to a fault. Put these things together and you get an artist not afraid to tell it like is who thrives on love, excitement and a passion for life.
After moving to Nashville after college, Laura quickly befriended some of Music City's best and it wasn't long before she was singing for a living. As she sang for her supper, she learned the advantages of co-writing, listening and observing the music that surrounded her. This knowledge led to demo sessions, a publishing deal and most recently to a career as product specialist for TC Electronic.
Laura spends her days writing songs, playing with the coolest gear on Earth and traveling the world telling people about it. A recent move to Cleveland has opened more doors than ever and 2008 promises to be another exciting year. Check out the calendar page to see where she might be next!

Influences: Anyone and anything that has something meaningful to put out there is inspiring. I'd like to think that I'm not influenced by anything as much as I am inspired and challenged to create more. Musically, I'm inspired by a ton of artists. Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella, these are at my core. Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Paula Cole, they all find their way in. Peter Gabriel, U2, Eddie Vedder, yeah, they're a part of me. Then there are my tremendously talented friends who you can find on myspace who inspire me every day: Chris Burke, Jennifer Morrison, Rob Giles, Kelly Buchanan, Dave Spak, Victoria Vox, and that's just a few. So I guess you could say I'm influenced by the world at large and the people within it.
Sounds Like: Sheryl Crow making tea with Melissa Etheridge and Paula Cole while hugging Eddie Vedder and making out with Peter Gabriel who is giving Janis Joplin a high five.
