LAUREN THOMSON RELEASE TOUR

"A showcase selection of firmly alt.country singer-songwriter tyles..."(Graham Reid)

Alt-Country Singer Songwriter, Lauren Thomson has just released her debut EP Our Love Is Due and is touring a few of her favourite towns. With prominent music critics behind her as well as a strong reputation for her captivating performance, Lauren Thomson is sure to be a name you won't forget.

A standout on Auckland's live circuit Lauren has become a much sought after opener and touring partner for the likes of Miriam Clancy, Brian Platt, and others. Leaving a trail of sighing punters behind her from Whangarei to Wanaka, this girl has forged a well-respected path for her songs that's only equaled by her passion to pour out her heart night after night on stages large and small.

Echoing the noir-country tradition of life's well drawn struggles (think Johnny Cash meets Ryan Adams… on a good day), Thomson sends her bruised and weathered voice soaring over a jangling flat-top as she poignantly illustrates borrowed tales of heartache and revenge with her own wit - never afraid to let hope creep up behind. It's delectably dark stuff punctuated with a unique antipodean optimism - no unnecessarily joyful ditties here - but if you're a sucker for melancholy, haunting riffs and an undeniably sweet face then Thomson will quickly draw you in.
