greetings, love children... Rolling to Gvegas for a practice tonight
Looking forward the highway in the afternoon light
Tweaked the Digitech patches
battened down the harmony hatches
a demo to scope out
some rough notes to snope out
soon to hear than sound again
 calamity comin round again |

(among other things....) From folk to rock to hiphop, to faux Hindu versions of Bobby McGee and Dylan/Julia Childs versions of What's Up...McLean has maintained her own distinct GnL Superhawk (double humbuckers w/classic floating Kahler tremolo....awwww..ahem...)..sound while absorbing info, honing skills and forging her musical future from the carolina moss and sand of her roots to the cutting edge studio voodoo of today's constantly-changing song landscapes.

 Laura McLean was indie before indie was cool. It was lonely. Now the tide has turned and indies outweigh the majors by far, and Laura made her way from folk to pop to rock to shredderville to hiphop and beyond. Forging an L blend that is at once memorable and totally individual, she still rides the edge of the chitlin circuit underground, embracing cult status as a guitarist and cultivating art and education in NC's at-risk youth populations. Her repertoire is huge, and her fearless spontaniety stands out in the indie crowd.
Folks who show up and sit near the front at an LM gig know they might have to endure an impromptu rap about their orange and purple shoes..or something their dog did in the neighborhood..all's fair in love and hiphop! And who but L would pick up someone's recently vacated lawn chair and play slide guitar with it? |
