New piece on Laura Veirs

My new piece on Laura Veirs just went live on MSNBC. This was one of those cases where there was just too much interesting stuff to say about the band. I had a great interveiw with her producer, Tucker Martine, too, but was obliged to only include the material relevant to this project.Laura is a talented songwriter, and her lyrics are very poetic. Seems like she could be Suzanne Vega's little sister.Everyone in this band seems to have a part in the mid-90s Seattle music nexus that I loved. Much of it centered on Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, Amy Denio, and the folks in The Saltbreakers: Karl Blau, Tucker Martine, Steve Moore, and Eyvind Kang.Kang is involved with another Seattle band I will probably cover at some point, The Stares.
