Info zu Burn It All Down

Lauren Anderson comes from a musical family. Born in Chicago, she started classical piano lessons at the age of eight. She is a member of several choirs and in high school she also takes classical singing lessons. Lauren graduated with an MBA in music, briefly considered becoming an opera singer, but in time decided that rock and soul were more up her alley. She then gets her Masters in music therapy and works for seven years as a therapist with underprivileged youth. In addition to study and work, she performs frequently and releases a first EP in 2014, followed by two full-length albums in 2015 and 2019.

The now relocated Anderson to Nashville has now released her third album, "Burn It All Down". The album features twelve self-written songs, including one in collaboration with John Salaway and Adam McDonough. She is accompanied by Matt Doctor (drums), Hutch (bass), Dan Wecht (guitar), Johnathan Smith (keyboards), Will Elliot (trombone) and Joe Douglas (sax, flute). Two tracks feature the guitars of Albert Castiglia and the aforementioned John Salaway. Immediately with the first song, the title track "Burn It All Down", we hear which direction it goes: solid blues-infused rock. Songs that deserve a special mention are "Tell Me Baby" with excellent guitar work by Dan Wecht, the power ballad "Rain Down On Me" and "Zombie Blues", on which Albert Castiglia plays as a guest. For fans of hardcore blues rock, this is an absolute must.

Lauren Anderson
This soulful rocker, originally from Chicago, has had a passion for singing throughout her entire life. Growing up in a household that was rich in music, her influences were widely varied from artists such as Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt, The Pointer Sisters, Eva Cassidy, Etta James, Joss Stone, Jason Mraz, Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera, and many more.

Despite these modern musical influences, Lauren was classically trained throughout most of her early life. She began classical piano lessons at the age of 8, was an active member of several choirs and began taking classical voice lessons when she began high school. She eventually took her love of singing to the Quad Cities and obtained a bachelors degree in music with an emphasis on voice at Augustana College. Initially she planned on becoming an opera singer, but quickly realized that rock and soul music were more her style.

Having listened to those around her, telling her that music and the arts were difficult fields to have a career in, Lauren followed the safe path in life, making sure she had a "back-up" plan while working on her music and performing. This lead her to The University of Kansas to complete her masters degree in music therapy. She worked for several years as a music therapist on a pediatric unit and at a school for at-risk youth in Kansas City. However, even with a steady job she found that passions don’t die easily, and despite her love of working as a music therapist, she was ready to take on the challenge of making music performance her career.

After officially completing her masters in 2012, Lauren began performing solo gigs around the greater Kansas City area and eventually put together a full band. She released her first official EP, “Do & Hope”, in August 2014. Fittingly, this EP was named after the unofficial motto of Lauren’s mother’s side of the family, who often remarked, “Just do it and hope it turns out okay.”

Lauren released her first, full-length CD titled, "Truly Me" in August 2015. And two singles, recorded in the legendary Ocean Way Nashville Studios, in 2016. Shortly after these releases she finally made the leap into becoming a full-time musician and moved to Nashville in February 2017.

Since moving to Nashville, Lauren has continued to tour in support of her most recent EP’s, “The Game” & “Won’t Stay Down”, available on all platforms. For more information and to stay up-dated sign-up for her monthly newsletters.

“Lauren Anderson drops the industrial-strength breakup blues on her new single “Back To Chicago.” The track, which features the mighty Mike Zito on guitar, is spacious, captivating, and timeless. Anderson’s big-league vocals and Zito’s stinging guitar work are a righteous pairing that the world needs more of.” ~ Rock & Blues Muse

“A determined dynamo of a performer adept at both blues and ballads, she’s ready to add to those accolades with her upcoming album Love On the Rocks, her most fully realized effort to date.” ~ American Blues Scene

“On her latest EP, Won’t Stay Down, she gives us five songs full of attitude and acerbic humor that take on the situations a touring musician often confronts on the road, from harassment (“Honey, Call Me Baby”) to empowerment (“Won’t Stay Down”).” ~ Rock and Roll Globe
