Album Notes

Since arriving new to the bay area in 1998 and starting her music career, Lara has come a long way in a short time, earning loyal fans from Los Angeles to Grass Valley. This year the Lara Price Band will embark on a national tour to promote Lara's second album entitled "Faces Of The Blues", which is currently getting airplay nationwide.

Lara and her band have shared the bill with headliners Etta James, Little Richard, James Brown, Bobby Blue Bland and many more! Last year Lara returned to the Monterey Blues Festival for the second year in a row. Lara also lent her talent to sing back up w/ Triple Seven at the Fillmore in San Francisco, opening up for the pop band Smashmouth.

When it comes to the blues, Lara found inspiration in a future blues legend: Susan Tedeschi, and queen of soul: Aretha Franklin.

It was on the stage at JJ's, where Lara runs her own Blues Jam, that she caught the attention of Blues Revue Magazine, who featured her in their September 2000 issue.

One of the aspiring blues players participating at Lara's jam was guitarist Laura Chavez, who plays with both emotion and technical ability beyond her years. Laura's talent was recognized in a blues guitar contest sponsored by Fender Guitars in which she was first runner-up out of 4200 entries. Laura inspired Lara with her playing, and now she is featured in the band. The common bond that Lara and Laura share is that they both fell in love with the blues without expecting to. As Lara says, "We didn't find the blues the blues found us." This year Lara and Laura were honored to showcase their stuff at the NAMM show in Los Angeles.

She's an all-American singer with a sultry stage presence and a voice that demands your attention-smoky, lonely, sexy, and powerful. It's all about the love of the music and letting the crowd share in her passion.

The Lara Price Band, a 5 piece band comprised of Lara Price on vocals, Laura Chavez on guitar, "Baldhead" Fred Rautman on Drums, Jack Cannon on Bass, and Gary Goldsworthy on Keyboards, can be seen live in venues throughout California and across the nation. "Faces of the Blues" can be heard on radio stations from California to Massachusetts.
