Lauren Shera - Once I Was A Bird

Lauren Shera - Northern California singer/songwriter mines delicate, emotionally resonant chamber folk on her second full length getting a national relaunch in late spring...Claw hammer banjo princess Abigail Washburn and Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses) guest...// Release: Once I Was A Bird (June 7) // Quote: "It’s important to me that people are able to relate to (the album) and take out of it a shared experience that everyone has been through in some form or another." // Sounds like: poignant, introspective songwriting with Shera's tender, airy and quavering voice surrounded by an array of acoustic instruments and gorgeous string arrangements // What we like: Andy Zenczak's restrained production...the small wonder of "Endless Sea", a perfectly crafted melody as the foundation for twinkling mandolin and subdued trumpet backing...the exquisite title track conjuring emotional vulnerability with Shera's plaintive voice surrounded by elegant strings...
