Here's what people have said:
"But my favorite of the evening was Laura Meyer, who positively trampled what few pieces of my heart were still beating with her forlorn crooning and subdued fingerpicking. Her poetic lyrics were particularly notable; she had a way of taking an image and stringing it out along an entire verse, cleverly leading her listeners' expectations into trap after heartbreaking trap." - Dan Barry, Hartford Advocate
"Beams of adeptly and uniquely finger-picked guitar support walls of elegant, earthy vocals and through tall, open windows come remarkably poetic and relatable lyrics. These songs are country roads, rich with story and movement. " -Dan D’Ippolito, Jezebel Music
"She's sultry, soft and a damn fine guitar player. Laura has a solemn streak in her music that gives her set that dark, appealing characteristic to those who enjoy going there. Rich and full, her performance Wednesday night was right on the money." - Alex Lowry, Jezebel Music
