Laura Thomas plays San Francisco

August 12, 2004 -- Acclaimed singer/songwriter will take San Francisco by storm on August 16th at the Red Devil Lounge, and August 19th at the Hotel Utah Saloon.

Laura's music is characterized by her powerful and strikingly unique voice complementing folky, Latin-influenced acoustic strumming. Her music conveys diverse messages in tracks ranging from "Slow," the passionate title track from her second self-produced CD, to "Blind Trinity," a political allegory for the powerful oligarchy that is: Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Laura Thomas' travels are reflected in world music sounds, and her band infuses every song with an energetic funk-rock feel that renders her a one of-a-kind mixture of Ani Difranco, Paula Cole, and Norah Jones.

The Village Voice has praised Thomas for her "thick-skinned song-poems in jazzoid rhythms." And the Washington Post said, "her voice is capable of tracing melodies as sinuous as the Rock Creek Parkway, and she has a soft spot for writing tender, compassionate or introspective ballads that help set her apart from the rant'n'roll crowd."
