Late one night last year Laura Veirs recorded her wonderfully folky EP, Two Beers Veirs. Playing old traditional covers close to her heart, this five-song sheds some light on the inspiration to her calm yet full Veirsian style you can find on Carbon Glacier or Year of Meteors. Teaming up again with producer Tucker Martine, Veirs picks up her banjo (as well as her standard classical) plays these...

don't you hate it when you get songs stuck in your head? it doesn't happen all that often for me, but in the past 24 hours i've had a few:Darren Hayes, "I Forgive You" - woke up with this on the brainJewel, "Daddy" - lyric just popped into my mind earlyTori Amos, "Drive All Night" - one of the worst songs from the new album, but somehow still rewardingi believe i have discovered a new project:...

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 littl...

Really beautiful new album from Laura Veirs. Here's a little from my Dusted review, up today:“'Sorry I was cold, I was protecting myself,' Laura Veirs begins, the first line in the first song (“Pink Light”) of her sixth luminous album, in a voice that is clear and pure and vibrato-free with just the hint of a child’s blurry vulnerability at the edges. It sounds personal, confessional, una

A dark winter's night swirls around you as you walk past an endless line of car headlights waiting to be shuffled into order at the busy junction ahead. It’s the end of the week and whilst a part of you wants to be home, the other part is willing to linger a while longer, as through your headphones the pure, fragile voice of Laura Veirs is singing a lullaby just for you.It was August of 2005 th.

Being under the weather and under duress is not an enjoyable combination, especially when one is preparing to enter the caverns of academic purgatory. Final papers and exams are approaching within the week, looming like the annual trips you were once forced to take to the pediatrician - fearful of cold hands, prognoses, and the dreaded shots. As I adjust my headlamp and begin my descent int...

I have been starting my mornings off this week with a cup of coffee. When I was working for my previous company, that was part of the routine. But ever since I quit that job, the routine didn't include coffee. Well it's back, and I've missed it sooooo much.I've been particularly impressed with this blend that I got at Trader Joes. It's a dark french roast and I really enjoy my coffee strong...

While looking for some new music online i happened across an Indie favorite artist of mine: Laura Veirs on an interview she had recorded. She revealed in her interview that she was living in Portland now, my local abode. I am getting to know the local artists here and had not heard she was amongst us. So, I checked out her MS page and saw that she had not disclosed her hometown. But, looking at...
