02/2008 Thoughtful New Article about Lauren in Reed Magazine   > Read at www.reed.edu


"Lauren has the authenticity, the sound and the knowledge of the folk/blues genre that other acts can only aspire to. She is a true entertainer, weaving the stories and history of the music into her performance and connecting with her audience on a personal level....the folk/blues tradition is safely and lovingly carried on by Lauren Sheehan."
Gray Eubank, Director, Portland Revels.


"The first thing that strikes me is the beauty and clarity of Lauren's voice. It's like discovering some new instrument that combines qualities of fiddle and clarinet, fresh but with deep roots, accompanied by some pretty impressive guitar work. Lauren's music is rich with ingredients that nourish the human spirit."
Phil Wiggins, of Cephas And Wiggins


"She is a class act, it was a pleasure to have her in the mix."
Peter Dammann, Talent Co-Ordinator Waterfront Blues Festival


"The lost and found in Lauren's music telegraphs a lifetime of discoveries, disappointments and last laughs. You can see it in her eyes, you can hear it in her music. Her wick is lit and she can't do anything but let it burn and spread warm musical light,"
Kate Power, Artichoke Music, OR


"You shine amidst the testosterone,"
Mary Flower
