Lauri Kranz

Lauri Kranz has accomplished something many musicians with significantly more years of experience often never seem to grasp: she has found the perfect style for both her songwriting style and her beautiful voice. The quiet, stark and personal nature of the music leaves you hanging on her every word, straining to pay attention and thus despite most of the song's quiet nature, they are never meant to be soothing or lulling. Rather, Kranz uses the softer approach to drive home her personal lyrics and the beauty of her voice. It's a fantastic combination and with some talented friends helping out, Jeff Martin (Idaho), Josh Grange (Victoria Williams) and Buddy Judge (Aimee Mann, Liz Phair), she's crafted some fantastic albums that leave you wanting more.
