Lauri Jones is a Pacific Northwest based singer/songwriter/performer who originally hails from the San Francisco Bay Area.  She has shared the stage with the likes of Patti LaBelle and George Benson, has sung back-up on recordings of such artists as Diana Ross, and had the great honor of singing with the legendary Boston Pops. Lauri is an accomplished, multi-dimensional artist with a diverse background, having appeared in regional theaters (in a variety of musicals), jazz clubs, cabaret venues, spiritual centers, in pop and dance bands, and traveling the world on cruise ships. She holds a Masters degree from the prestigious Boston Conservatory. Over the past few years, Lauri has been especially moved to write and perform music that celebrates and uncovers a higher awareness and deeper truth of life's journey. With her crystalline, soul-stirring, "Eva Cassidy-like" voice, she has been inspiring audiences through her uplifting and empowering songs and, after a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign to record in that realm, celebrated the release of her album, “Walk Your Life” in 2015. Since the release of that album, Lauri has continued to write and perform, and is thrilled to be releasing her new and very relevant single, "Watch Love Rise", written and recorded (live) in November 2016 during the peak of the tumultuous presidential election. It is a song that looks to love and unity in these extreme political times. Lauri has always been drawn to music about life's deeper journey. While performing on cruise ships and in cabaret venues, she created a one-woman show that told her "tears to triumph" story... from searching everywhere to realizing she was already "there"... celebrating the moment and all that is, inside and out. Her first album, "Have You Met Miss Jones", is a studio recording of the songs from that show... jazzy, soulful cabaret tunes ranging from Irving Berlin to James Taylor. All of Lauri's music is available at CD Baby.
