Album Notes

Inspiring. Spiritual. Uplifting. Sacred. Storytelling through song. Whatever you want to call LaVon's newest album, you'll be touched by the authentic emotion with which she tells each musical tale. Digging inside each line, each phrase, LaVon manages to convey the delicate balance between hope and struggle, triumph and tears, all beneath the larger umbrella of faith.

Says one fan: “When LaVon performs a song, you can be assured that not only will it sung beautifully, with the playfulness and the poignancy the song deserves, … each song becomes a distinct and memorable experience for the listener.”

LaVon's background in the Baptist church surely inspired her powerful versions of the traditional gospel songs "Wade in the Water" and "This Little Light of Mine." Among the original songs on Everyday Gifts, the original tune "Pray, Pray, Pray" also hews to a gospel sensibility, while "No More" takes a different musical approach to declaring what is and isn't on the To Do list.

The album includes two noteworthy covers: John Lennon's "Imagine" and the classic "Stand By Me" emerge with a new freshness and clarity through LaVon's clear alto tones.

A featured artist at the 2008 World Sacred Music Festival, LaVon offers this new album to listeners of all ages who are interested in the internal workings of the human heart, and how it relates to the larger Spirit. This is music that will speak to your spirit, whatever your path.
