Texas singer songwriter Laura Marie pulls together pop, folk and jazz influences to color her deeply introspective lyrics about truth, life and love.

Laura Marie's lyrics are both touching and personal. She gets to the heart of the matter with a voice somewhat familiar, yet distinctly her own. As a songwriter, she is known for her poignant and striking wordplay (“Wait,” “In Code,” “Still") while her smooth vocal style has been described as 'smooth as 100 year-old scotch'. Laura Marie's music has been favorably compared to songwriters Norah Jones, Natalie Merchant, and Tracy Chapman. Her first full-length solo CD titled, Drawn was released in 2007 and was co-produced by five-time Grammy nominated producer, Mack Damon. She is currently promoting her second release, Last of the Ones.

Songs from Last of the Ones can be heard in independent feature films “Dream Healing” by writer director Dora Pena starring Jesse Borrego and "Leftovers" by writer director Robin Nations. The single “Love You Like Me” can be heard in the DVD documentary “Dallas 30 - Off the Record”.
