Laura Gibson Live !!!

Laura Gibson is an internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer and writer, born and raised in the small Oregon logging town of Coquille. Both literary and raw, with a love of traditional folk music and a bent toward experimentation, she has performed on four continents and had the distinct honor of playing the very first (and 200th) NPR Tiny Desk Concert. The New York Times has described her themes as “longing and instinct, and whether they can ever converge.” Her most recent album Goners (Barsuk/City Slang) was praised by NPR as “a gripping collection of songs about accountability and grief.” The Fader called it, “so incessantly beautiful that one cannot help but want to gently crack it open to get to its beating core.” Between albums three and four, Gibson earned an MFA in fiction writing from Hunter College, completing her thesis in the back of a tour van. Her essays have appeared in Talkhouse, the Los Angeles Review and Oregon Humanities Magazine, and she was a 2020 recipient of the McElheny Award from MIT for her work the Timber Wars podcast. She is currently prepping a new album while very slowly working on a book.
