Born too late in Memphis TN, Laura Mayo has an old soul and a haunting voice. Raised on Ella Fitzgerald and Keely Smith, she plays with melodies and tone in a way that is both childlike and ancient. She cut her teeth singing BGVs in some of Nashville's top studios and touring the country supporting acts such as Quinn Deveaux and Corey Chisel. She is now stepping into the spotlight and performing her original music for the first time in addition to showcasing her take on classic jazz tunes.
