LAUREN ECHO
Since emerging on the NYC café circuit in 2001, Lauren Echo has been hailed as a truly special talent. Her most recent album “STILL” is evidence of this native Manhattanite’s many musical gifts – her unique and intense vocal style and melodic blend embraces jazz, blues, soul and rock. In addition, Echo is a vulnerable and inspiring lyricist – in her songs there is a recurring theme of freedom and triumph – sharing moments of her life with spirit, emotion and dignity.
Both her piano and guitar compositions owe more to rhythm and blues and jazz than to modern formula songs. With her first album “REFLECTION FROM A SURFACE” and now “STILL” Lauren Echo establishes herself as an original talent that will be around for some time.
Lauren has been a professional singer since she was a child. Her distinct voice and wide range of vocal talents have been featured on numerous albums and soundtracks (Duran Duran, Eddie and The Cruisers), the animated MTV Celebrity Death Match and many national television voice-overs (Maybelline, Kodak, Burger King).
Selected “Best Female Musician Signed or Unsigned” Lauren is a passionate and soulful singer and her songs have been compared to some of the greatest pop, rock and blues singers like Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow; her voice is often described as smoky, gritty, tender, very big, and performing is when Lauren really shines.
In a word Lauren Echo live is captivating; she comes alive on stage. Her charisma, down to earth style and intense presence touches and connects with each person in the audience and you feel her singing directly from her heart into yours.
Whether solo (on piano and guitar) or with the Lauren Echo Trio - Lauren is always performing in New York City and continually takes her music on the road touring up and down the east coast playing clubs, cafés and festivals.
