- Local singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson is finally receiving recognition in NI's music scene, and having just won £15,000 from a music showcase on www.slicethepie.com to record her long-awaited debut album, it would seem her music is finding appreciation from further afield as well.
At the centre of the music is her voice - fragile, ethereal, haunting - providing an apt vehicle for songs which betray a rare kind of honesty. She doesn't shy away from wearing her heart on her sleeve in her songwriting, something fans tell her they appreciate. Her songs are carefully framed by trademark cascading piano lines.
Influences include Sarah McLachlan, Patty Griffin and Sheryl Crow, but comparisons reveal little about Stevenson's unique direction. Currently sought after as a vocalist and songwriter, Laura continues to play local venues to an ever-widening fan base.
Inhabiting the space where catharsis meets redemption, this is music to break your heart, or maybe to heal it....

FINAL WEEK TO SECURE A BACKSTAGE PASS!
So, after experimenting with the name change last week (we're all allowed these little indulgences every once in a while...), it appears to have been an almighty flop for several reasons:
1. Some people just didn't get that Laura Masen was Laura Stevenson.
2. I couldn't use all my old reviews.
3. Several people thought I had run off and married someone named "Masen" (poor Dee!).
4. You have no idea how much work I had to do to change every website, and I still hadn't got there when I decided to bail out and revert back to the old name!
*sigh*
I don't know how you married women do it....
Anyway, onward and upward (and let's never speak of this again...).
Now, onto the more serious matters at hand. This is the final week that my "backstage passes" are on sale over at Slicethepie so, if you don't want to miss out, better get yourself one before they are no more!
Not only does purchasing one entitle you to a free album download on release, but also access to a special "backstage forum" where I shall be revealing the likes of artwork, track previews, running orders and sexy video blogs (in the sexy "cool" sense of the word, as opposed to porn), and asking for your feedback before the album is finalised.
And all for the unbelievable, bargain price of £5!
I'm telling you, a fiver doesn't usually get you that much these days. So head on over to slicethepie.com and make sure you're part of the forum today!!

Laura for "sale"....
....No it's not another dodgy application! I am, quite literally for sale!
Indeed, as the UK and USA face a time of economic uncertainty and your share certificates aren't worth the paper they're written on, Slicethepie have just released backstage passes in "me" (a useful commodity, I'm sure you'll agree...
), which will then enable you to buy up to 5 discount-priced "contracts" (much like shares on the stockmarket) per backstage pass you own. The reduced price is a mere 10p as opposed to £1.50 (oooohh!).
Lots of business and finance-related things happen to your contracts once my album goes on general release, the likes of which I know nothing about, but the bottom line is, if I make money then so do you.
Much more information is available on Slicethepie (just go to the "Financing" section) so I'll leave my poor attempt at an explantion there.
*Please note: backstage passes are available for one week only!*
All for now!
