Singer-songwriter Laurie Larson was born in Kalispell, Montana. She began playing music at age 7, and can play guitar, violin, piano and banjo, but she considers herself mostly a bass player. She ran twice for the Arizona House of Representatives and has been a web designer for several candidates from Congressional Races to Governor. Her art and photography is also available at several galleries in the Phoenix area. A lifelong radio DJ, consultant and rock & roll music director, she has also been a Program Director and Operations Manager for multiple cluster stations, in the southwest and California. Laurie has also worked in state and city government, education and for Kitt Peak National Observatory. She recently founded the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame in 2008.
Laurie released her third album, A Striking Resemblance. Global Rhythm Magazine placed "A Call to Action" from it on their January / February 2008 Collector's CD, their review: "There's a bit of the desert in Arizona-based Laurie Larson's stately folk-pop songs. Her zephyr-like tenor brings a solitary, mournful air to the opening of 'A Call to Action', pushing the song into a double-time beat that flies by like the mile markers on an open highway." Global Rhythm Magazine came back again in March to add "Utopia" on their CD, then picked "1 Realm" for their June CD. Relix Magazine picked the title track for their November 2008 CD Sampler along with Joan Osborne, Burning Spear and Lucinda Williams.
Every track has been played on the radio & over 650,000 copies of tracks from "A Striking Resemblance" have been distributed. "A Striking Resemblance" is featured now in the Relix Magazine CD Sampler and "1 Realm" is on the Acoustic Rainbow Sampler. The CD was recorded and mixed by Jim Brady in Tucson, Arizona. Jim Roberts mixed "Artist's Mirage Two" and played Hammond B3 on "Endless Thank You Loop"! Each song was written and arranged by Laurie Larson.
From her prior release Aquila, “Architect of Dreams” was on the Crossroads CD Sampler with EmmyLou Harris, Mary Youngblood and Buckethead. The tracks on her CD were ordered by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield and Poco.
