There is an eerie, otherworldly sweetness to Laura Secker’s voice and songwriting that will make your heart stand at attention every time you hear her sing. Her tones and her way with the crowd make her loveable and frightening at the same time. Loveable because her voice and demeanor are so pretty, and frightening because her songs are an eclectic mix of heartache, confusion, and bliss on roads that never end. Laura’s music paints a picture of a life not less ordinary, but of a life more explored, questioned and designed that most of us would dare to do. Laura examines the lows that we too often can’t put into words and brings a crooked smile and ironic dose of wit to the highs that we sometimes can’t trust.

The six songs on her debut EP titled “Say Something” will inevitably mean something a little different to everyone, but that is her specialty—framing snapshots of moments that are without beginning or end, and allowing her audience to bring their own characters and meaning to her stories. You can feel the desperate hope of “Say Something,” see the cracked emotional walls of “My Best Defenses,” and live several lifetimes looking through the windshield at two-lane blacktop during the resolute of “Long Drive,” and the haunting melody of “Headlights and Highways.” But no matter how you feel, these songs will keep you singing during the longest drives of all.
