Laura Stevenson: "A Purge and a Prayer"

Soundcheck | Aug 5, 2021

Singer-songwriter Laura Stevenson documents the turbulent and heavy stuff of life with warmth and fierce intensity. The multi-instrumentalist offers an album, “written as a sort of purge and a prayer,” of dynamic contrasts, clasping hands with blistering rage and working out how to deal with fear and pain. Laura Stevenson plays tunes remotely with her band from her self-titled 2021 record.

Set list: “State,” “Don’t Think About Me,” “Sky Blue, Bad News”
