Laura Gibson is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from the Pacific Northwest. Born and raised in Oregon, Gibson's music career took a significant leap forward in Portland's burgeoning indie folk scene. Her artistry is characterized by its intimate vocals and narrative lyricism, which are often cradled by delicately intricate guitar work and understated arrangements. Her voice as a songwriter holds a poetic finesse, matched by a unique ability to unearth a universal emotion from the depths of the personal stories portrayed in her music.

Gibson's album "La Grande," released in 2012, is named after a town in Oregon and reflects a bold step in her musical voyage, punctuated by a richer, full-bodied sound. This growth in her sonic palette continued to mature in her 2016 release "Empire Builder," a powerful and reflective record that channels her experiences of upheaval and change, named after the Amtrak route she traveled while moving to New York to attend graduate school. "Goners," the 2018 follow-up, further explores themes of grief and coping with the impermanence of life. Throughout her evolving discography, Laura Gibson has maintained a revered place within the indie folk world, enchanting audiences with her tender storytelling and evolving musical landscapes. Her music invites listeners into a world of heartfelt reflection, often finding beauty and transformation in life's complex tapestry.
