Out to prove she’s more than just a soulful voice, Laura Tsaggaris has a knack for crafting catchy songs that seem to speak to your own life and experiences. She is a throwback to artists like Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley and Suzanne Vega who have used the studio to push the limits of genre and create cohesive pieces of art. With her captivating melodies, complex pop song structures and dynamic acoustic guitar playing, Laura Tsaggaris is, more than anything, just great listening.
Laura’s early life in suburbia Pittsburgh, PA gave few indications of her eventual calling. To the surprise of many who knew her, she started her own record label and recorded her first album (Proof) in 2005. What happened next was no shock for those who heard Proof. Galvanized by the local, national and international reaction to her debut, Laura quit her job at a Washington, D.C. law firm, packed her bags and toured the country alone to promote the record and launch her career as a performer.
After the cycle of touring ended in 2008, Laura began work on her second studio album, Keep Talking. Her sophomore offering is a rare effort that rocks, soothes and inspired The Washington Post to write, “When a singer‐songwriter builds an array of songs, often arising from a solid pop foundation with a splash of blues, a touch of rock and a hint of soul, that affirms a genuine musical gift.” Laura supported Keep Talking with a 2-month, 20 state U.S. tour in 2010.
Laura has several East Coast dates for Fall 2011 and is currently focused on releasing her next studio album in summer 2012.
