Laura Bullock is a Boston-area songwriter, through and through. Literate and modern, reflective and relevant, she writes and performs in a style that has become characteristic of the Cambridge folk music scene.
On stage, Laura weaves each song together with humor and stories, connecting with the audience like two friends over tea.
In the Fall of 2006 Laura released her first full-length album entitled Points North. She has also appeared on the 2006 release of Club Passim’s Open Mike Compilation CD. She continues to gain recognition for her sweet, simple voice and insightful, thought-provoking lyrics. Recently she was selected as a finalist in the 2008 Kerrville Grassy Hill New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters.
Growing up in the Boston area in the 80’s and 90’s, Laura was heavily influenced by the urban folk revival that came out of the Cambridge scene, including such artists as Shawn Colvin, Ellis Paul, Patty Griffin, and Dar Williams. With influences such as these, it comes as no surprise that Laura is able to write songs that are both intensely introspective yet universally relatable.
Both on the road and in the studio Laura is garnering praise from audiences and industry members alike. Ben Collins from 88.9 WERS, Emerson College, Boston, MA writes, “In Layman’s terms, this Boston-area songwriter knows how to write some pretty impressive folk-pop.†And Phil Wyman, host of the Storytellers at the Gathering in Salem, MA writes, "[Laura's] warm, earthy vocals, comfortable stage presence, and easy rambling rhythms will comfort you like a crackling fire on the beach at night."
