About Me
Lauren’s vocal ability stems from her love and passion that she carries for her native Philadelphia influences. She is a scat singer at heart. Reginald Pindell, mentored and trained her in the artistry of classical, Broadway and many other techniques of the vocal culture at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts where she received her BA In music performance. Lauren has had the opportunity to perform in her native city of Philadelphia with such accomplished artists and groups as The Philly Pops, Gerald Veasley, Tyrone Brown and Christian McBride. She created The Outback Jazz Festival in 2006 and is in the works for her second go as festival leader in the near future. While a band-leader and front woman for The Lauren Lark Quartet and Big Band Lauren making moves and is graduating to composer and songwriter with her upcoming sophomore album. Lauren's upcoming album pays homage to her Philly roots by diversifying the sound of jazz once again. Included is not only a new perspective on scat singing and jazz, but this album infuses the talents and production styles of music minds James Solomon and Alfred Politte. She is also expecting a new album release as a guest with “the world’s most recorded drummer” Bernard “Pretty” Purdie.
