About Me


"[A] tight imaginitative band--inspired songwriting; creative production. Lorien is real talent making real music."
Dan Keen
Vice-President
Membership Group
ASCAP
Experimentation consumes the music of Nashville-based Lórien. Formed in September 2005, Lórien has created a unique blend of a poetic and thought provoking perspective through breathy vocals, classical piano, progressive rhythm, and melodic guitar work. Lórien has been developing and maintaining a strong buzz in the indie community.
Early demos and a stunning live performance attracted producer Andy Hunt (Jars of Clay, Buddy Guy, Smash Mouth). Not long after finishing The Ghost in the Parlor EP in 2006, Lórien performed along side mewithoutYou, Copeland, and Anberlin on the main stage of Cornerstone Music Festival as the New Band Showcase grand prize winner. Fall of 2006 brought us Lórien’s CD release at one of Nashville’s premier venues, Rocketown, an awe-inspiring, larger-than-life experience with hundreds of people in attendance for an incredibly well-crafted show complete with a choir, string quartet, and percussion breakdowns involving the majority of people on stage. Since then, Lórien has played from small intimate clubs to 2,000 seat venues across the Southeast.
Each and every one of Lórien’s shows consists of versatility, charisma, and energy that are only found in the most professional of bands. This professionalism has brought respect of many music appreciators and garnered them multiple counts of media interest. Lórien's full and unique sound has a relevant and important place in the chronology of popular music; it is one you will be hearing a whole lot more of in the very near future.
