Laurie tours nationwide, performing solo and with her band. “I want to create songs that matter for children,” Laurie says. “I was singing once and saw a four-year-old girl shut her eyes and start swaying to the music. I thought, ‘That’s the reason I got into music.’ It keeps me wanting to do more.”
