LAURA LONGON | |
Laura grew up in a musical family and music has always been part of her life. In high school she studied piano and voice, worked professionally in a duo, cutting a record "I'll Never Love You Again," with close friend, Mark Winter (Wintertainment and Pet Life Radio). She later earned a degree in Music Education from the University of Hawaii. Keeping on the move, in Seattle, Washington, Laura modeled, did studio work, and sang jingles. With the opportunity to sing many different kinds of material in the studios, Laura's style became eclectic, Rock, Alternative country, Pop, and R&B having influenced her. Back in New Jersey, she performed in the band 'Fire Water' and the duo 'Denim and Lace', performing in clubs along the Jersey Shore. At Six Flags Great Adventure, she performed with the guitar virtuoso Joe Dalton. Joe was impressed by Laura's talent and they compiled a collection of songs, 'Summertime Man', which they sent down to a producer in Nashville, Rick Durrett. Rick urged Laura to come down to Nashville, where she met with Judy Newby, her former manager. Both Rick and Judy felt that Laura had what it took to be a success there and she followed her dream to Nashville where she spent 6 years writing, performing and recording. She was welcomed to the Bluebird Café by Barbara Cloyd, the Courtyard Café by Danny Jake, and Windows on the Cumberland, as well as other clubs in town.
