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. Laura also performed in the Annual Nashville Entertainment Association's EXTRAVAGANZA for 2 years.

Laura now lives in South Florida with her husband , Mick, and their 3 dogs and 3 cats. 

Laura's collections include, I've Felt This Way Before, New Age, All That and a Bag of Chips, The Nashville Collection, Best of Laura Longon.  All of these great collections can be heard and downloaded at www.tunebee.com.

The Nashville musicians and producers on these collections include Rick Durrett, Joe Khoury, Dennis Belfield, Mike Chapman, Ronnie Godfrey, Dave Harrison, Brian Barnett, Hank Singer, Leo Jackson, Tom Robb, Kenny Malone, Monty Allen, Joe Dalton, Kim Morrison, and Yvonne Hodges.

Standing five feet tall with big blue eyes and blond hair, Laura is a petite powerhouse of talent and potential on the music scene and we hope that you will enjoy her exuberant style of alternative country, pop, and folk.
