Lauren Shera
Hailing from a musically-oriented family, Lauren Shera grew up in New York listening to an eclectic range of artists, and was particularly drawn to folk music. After relocating to northern California in ’96, her family found their niche in a close-knit community of alternative, homeschooling families that often had gatherings centered around a circle of musicians playing folk songs.
To date Lauren has appeared on stage supporting such acts as Greg Brown, Iris DeMent, Jason Mraz, Billy Bragg, Lowen & Navaro, Todd Snider, Kristin Hersh, The Ditty Bops, Joan Osborne, Vashti Bunyan, Abigail Washburn and The Sparrow Quartet, Elvis Perkins, Nanci Griffith, Leo Kottke and Phil Lesh, who said of Lauren, “…Every generation or two a voice comes along that redefines what you thought you knew about music and touches you deep down in your soul…her voice is going to define the next generation of folk music”. Additionally, Lauren has appeared at festivals such as the High Sierra Music Festival, Sausalito Music & Arts Festival, Monterey Music Summit, and South By Southwest. In 2006, Shera was invited to perform at the Bob Dylan tribute concert at New York city’s Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, to benefit the Music For Youth Foundation, where she was accompanied on stage by renowned guitarist Warren Haynes.
