As I was breezing through the monthly HearNoHo musical showcase last night, Laura Duncan was a revelation. I’m talking blues riffs, jazz tinges, and one of the strongest voices I’ve heard in a while. This UK transplant is now based in Los Angeles, and I’ll seek her out again. She can sing, and she can play guitar. I think she’s coming from a musical theatre background. I see she’s played Molly Malones. I wonder if she knows Philip Sayce?
She has a 4-song ep for free download on her site at www.lmduncan.com. Or if Myspace to stream music is your thing: www.myspace.com/lmduncan
I’ve been cranking "Less Earth More Rubber" all the morning after. I’m hooked!

Fortunate enough to see Laura in Florida a few times a few years back and she was good then. Amazing and a joy to see how her writing, singing and playing have matured in LA !!!!
