Album Notes

Lauren Barrett, a New Orleans native, has been entertaining audiences since age 12, when she began singing with her father's oldies cover band. After moving to Austin, TX, Lauren's solo act as a singer/guitarist/pianist quickly developed her a devoted fanbase on the renown 6th Street. In 2004, Lauren moved to Los Angeles and teamed up with Goo Goo Dolls' drummer Mike Malinin to record her EP, "This is Real." Along with her regular performances and recording sessions, she has been the finalist in several national songwriting/performance competitions including Star 98.7's Be a Star contest and Clear Channel's Radio Star contest.

She was just recently voted VO5's Next Red Hot Rising Star, in their nation-wide search for the next big thing. Lauren is working on her new album set to be finished this summer. She was recently nominated for LA Music Awards Best AAA Album of the Year. www.laurenbarrett.net
