“Vocalist Lauren Speeth, with her quiet-but-confident and sultry Brazilian style…”

Lauren Speeth has been writing music since she could hold a blue crayon… but she first began dreaming of a career as a songwriter while reading ‘songwriter’ magazine and  plotting her escape from high school.  A solo light lyric soprano in the invitation-only choir Singing Angels in Cleveland when she was a youth. She was coached in California by Eleanor Cohen and Faith Winthrop, and although influenced by Suzanne Vega, Astrud Gilberto, James Taylor and others, Speeth has her own authentic voice and style. As a musician, she has had wonderful piano and flute instructors, learned from guitarists Jeffrey Chinn and John Cordell, and gotten tips from friends like Michael Lorimer and fellow band member Josh. On violin, she’s studied with Betty Haag, Christopher Kranyak, Joseph Gold, Jeremy Cohen and Aaron Rosand. For Lauren, music is a great way to get in touch with the divine, and to make ‘a joyful noise.’ She’s especially excited about fundraisers, praise music, and in joining her voice with others in the interests of compassionate understanding and social justice.
