Talented up-and-coming Los Angeleno artist Lauren Ruth Ward<\/a><\/strong> is playing at Velvet Jones<\/a><\/strong> in Santa Barbara<\/strong> tomorrow night (Thursday, May 2nd). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our collaborator and pal from LA, LA Music Scene<\/a><\/strong> provides the apt encouragement below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You should be there. Why should you be there? Because Lauren Ruth Ward<\/strong> is special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Lauren Ruth Ward<\/strong> special? Certainly her deft songwriting and empowering humanist lyrics, her beautifully raspy and throaty vocals, her full-of-energy-and-love and exuberant-abandon live performances, and her knack for surrounding herself with exceptionally talented collaborators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what makes Lauren Ruth Ward<\/strong> really special is Lauren Ruth Ward<\/strong> herself. Self-confident and self-assured without the slightest hint of arrogance, Lauren<\/strong> is exactly and completely the unique individual she was born to be. She’s a smart, charming woman, and an artist and performer driven with boundless energy. She’s “Mom” to her band and a huge supporter of the LA music scene<\/strong>, and just about the most-comfortable-in- her-skin person you’ve ever met. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The LA music scene<\/strong> is as good as it’s ever been because of the wealth of extraordinarily talented women populating it. At the very top of that population is Lauren Ruth Ward<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauren Ruth Ward<\/strong> with LA friends Laura Jean Anderson<\/strong> and Cosmo Gold<\/strong> Thursday May 2 at Velvet Jones<\/strong> in Santa Barbara. You really should be there. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n
