Hailing from the Phoenix area, the originally acoustic duo of Danny Godbold (keys, guitar, vocals) and James Mulhern (guitar, percussion, vocals), aka
What Laura Says, began documenting their stories through musical form, recording track after track of sweet melodies and multi-part vocal harmonies, resulting in a raw and honest sound.
In 2006 drummer Greg Muller, bassist Mitch Freedom and percussionist Jacob Woolsey joined the mix. And the band's first full-length was recorded and released in 2007 -- with many local musicians and fans hailing the collection as the album of the year.
After several talked about performances at SXSW this year, including a tribute with and for Lou Reed,
What Laura Says prepares for the release of
Thinks and Feels on August 19th and will be touring throughout the summer and beyond.
Let me know if you'd like to cover any of the shows and stay tuned for an MP3 to post. Have a safe and happy 4th!
