“Working with Laurie on her records, is like being with that cool person you wish you grew up with. Her music transports listeners and easily moves through an abundance of styles. Whether she’s serenading you, laying down some deep blues, or kicking it at the roadhouse, it feels perfectly natural because Laurie always come from the heart.“ Dana White, owner and engineer, Specialized Mastering, Portland, OR
"Don't SLEEP on this 2015 album from The Laurie Goldsmith Project - LGP. Certainly a wonderful palette of music textures ranging from Reggae and Blues to Rock and Ballads. I still feel like this album would fit so well as a soundtrack for a cool film." George Trksak, owner and engineer, Bop Stop Studios, Medford, MA
Laurie gathered fellow musicians from the Boston area to assist her on the forming of the project, some of whom she has known for many years, and others she is just forging connections with. The music reflects the different genres that she has loved and performed for over two decades. As a lyricist, she is most interested in using her voice as an instrument to tell the story within each song.
