The darling of all badasses, Lauren OBrien is alternative punk cabaret ... with a dash of comedy and spices of spoken word...for the new millenium! She is fierce, fearless, and a force to be reckoned with, according to MPress Records CEO, Rachael Sage. Lauren is constantly evolving. starting out as an actress, becoming a lyricist for the rock band PAO (featuring Janice Robinson and Emmy winner Fred Shehadi), fronting a band in the vein of Patti Smith, and writing and performing acoustic rock. Lauren has toured throughout the United States and Canada and played festivals such as NYCs CMJ, Howl! Fest, MEANY Fest, The Seaside Music Festival, The NY Funny Songs Festival and The Joys of Hemp Festival. Her two studio albums, Inconsequential Dream & Panic, earned her two New Century Music Awards. Lauren recorded an acoustic album and has performed with collaborator Mitch DiStefano. "Lauren OBrien takes her fans from the spoken word onto a circus ride through never never land, then kicks their rocknroll ass all over town before she heals them with love's cascade. If you hang out with her after the show, who knows where youll end up. - David Tanner GNYC
