Laura Marks

Laura Marks sings with the same quiet intensity and sensuality that informs her paintings. Her cool, restrained style draws the listener into a shared intimacy. Coming from an artistic family, she has been singing all her life and was exposed to classical music, jazz, folk, rock and blues at a very early age. Over the last few years Laura has performed jazz and Latin music at various clubs around Toronto including The Rex, The Reservoir Lounge, Hugh’s Room, Lula Lounge, The Trane Studio, 120 Diner, Jazz Bistro, Music In The Atrium, The Kingston House, Free Times Café, Mandy's Bistro, Ten Feet Tall and the Emmet Ray. Her debut recording, "57 Minutes" had its release at Jazz Bistro in Toronto, Canada, November 12, 2013.
