About me

Welcome to my little free space about music!

My name is Laura and I live in the north-west of Italy. I always had a great passion for music (thanks to my mum who listened to it even when she was pregnant of me!), so it's not surprising that I'm incredibly interested in finding new music to listen to! Check out my interviews with Indie Music Center and "Song Surfing Podcast" to discover more about me!

On this blog I post my personal reviews of fresh new releases from indie musicians, new voices that struggle to be heard in the chaos of music industry and I'm sure you will find your next favourite songwriter among them! On my Instagram page you'll find very special interviews with indie musicians, news, shout outs and a lot more!

Thanks to Instagram, I had the opportunity to get in touch with many indie musicians, especially from US and then from Europe, Asia and Australia and I started to be very curious about their songwriting process and their lives as musicians. I realized that often their music is better than "famous" or "commercial" music. If a musician writes a song that has the power to make me feel an emotion, that musician deserves to be supported. We never think about all the work that musicians put in their songs, so I thought: why don't I start to showcase them in the best possible way to give them some exposure and maybe help them find more listeners, as they deserve? And that's how the Laura Meets Musicians project started!

More about my Instagram Page

In September 2020 I started to discover a community of indie musicians based in New York City thanks to Instagram. It was the first time that I could talk directly with the songwriters, sending them my thoughts about their songs, asking questions and even becoming friends! Since then I also started to draw musicians portraits on my drawing account @enchanted.marvel (I would love if you'll follow me also there!) and day by day indie musicians have become my second family. I really love that community, so I started looking for the way I could support it more.
In April 2021 I opened the Instagram account @laurameetsmusicians where musicians have a space to freely present themselves not only as musician but also as person. It suddenly had a lot of success and I continue to receive tons of requests of feature! I invite you to follow both my accounts and if you'd like to let me know what you think about what I'm doing, just shoot me a DM there or send me an e-mail, I would love to!

Older country, folk and rock'n'roll vibes in the upcoming album by Drew Kiddoo and the Blackouts

Image
Drew Kiddoo and the Blackouts Drew Kiddoo And The Blackouts is a honky tonk country band based out of Ithaca , NY. Their unique blend of traditional country western, folk, and early rock and roll has captivated audiences across the region since they formed in 2018. Drew's songwriting is the heart and soul of the band. He writes from personal experience, and his lyrics are infused with love, whiskey, the open road, and that old "crying over an empty glass of booze" style of melancholy. The Blackouts are a misfit collage of local musicians who bring Drew's songs to life with that boot stompin', barn-burnin' energy. The album "Giddyup and Go" will be released on June 14th, in accordance with the release party set for the same date at The Range in Ithaca, next to Cornell University. I had the opportunity to listen to the full lenght album in advance, and I can't wait to share my personal take on it! "Giddyup and Go" is a collection of song...

Midwerstern Gothic storybooks meet 80s rock opera in Brian Bacon's new album "Murder of Crows"

Image
Brian Bacon A creator to his core, Brian Bacon ’s dressed up style of folk rock finds an almost miraculous balance between nostalgia and bold originality. At age 50, Brian left Cleveland, Ohio where he had lived for over 20 years raising daughters and moved into a tiny home in Nashville found on Airbnb to record an album with a producer he met on Instagram, the result was his second album, "Murder of Crows" .  Produced by Nick Bullock and performed by a band of professional studio musicians in Nashville, "Murder of Crows" is a ten-song road trip into a woodsy Midwestern Gothic storybook full of poetic character stories like something you would expect from a rock opera or modern musical. Listening to the whole album you'll have the feeling of being seated in the front row of a Broadway Musical, captured by the storytelling and the engaging rhythm. Its intricate arrangements of vocals, synths, guitars, strings and horns reminds me a lot of 80s pop/rock music that ...

Image
Eli Lev Rising singer-songwriter and global citizen Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli pens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery.

Together, the series imaginatively and intrepidly connects spheres and generations within a body of work that is irresistibly uplifting, emotionally resonant, and down-to-earth authentic. ...
