Since 2007 I've performed at venues ranging from a tiny spirit store nestled amid medieval ruins north of Dublin to the main stage at the renowned Telluride Bluegrass Festival, where I've performed for over 10,000 festivarians in the Colorado mountains two years in a row. I chronicled much of 2008’s 30,000 miles of touring through photos, videos, and written entries, which can be found at www.laurameyer.net. After completing a marathon tour at last summer’s Rocky Mountain Folks Festival I retreated to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I survived a winter without heat by writing more than a hundred songs and poems, which I'm ready to return to the road that inspired them, on Miles From Nowhere, out September 22, 2009. Tour starts in Cleveland September 25. See you soon.

Honors: Telluride Bluegrass Troubadour Competition (2007-2009), Winner of Great Waters Songwriting Contest (2008), Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Song Contest (2008-2009), Winner of the Radio Crystal Blue Airplay Vote (2008), Williamsburg Live Songwriter Competition Finalist (2008), Recognized by BMI for Professional Songwriting and Vocal Performance (2007-2008), NEMO/Starbucks Music Makers Competition Finalist (2007), Mountain Stage NewSong Northeast Finalist (2007), and 4x recipient of the ASCAPlus Award.

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

I confess I'm routing my tour through Gainesville because I'm a Tom Petty FREAK and I've wanted to visit the holy land since I was... um, 8?
