Lauren Lark
Vocalist
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.
