BwGN AM Mixtape #77 – The Laura Veirs one (Deep Dive Series)

This is the second of five deep dives into the discographies of some of my favorite artists. This mixtape highlights the Portland-based singer songwriter Laura Veirs. She primarily plays nylon string guitar, but she also plays electric and acoustic guitar, banjo, and even a little piano. She self-released her first album 20 years ago, and has since then founded her own record label – Raven Marching Band – on which she has released six more solo full-lengths, including an album for children, as well as an EP of traditional songs. She's also released three solo records on Nonesuch, and a collaborative album with Neko Case and k.d. lang on Anti–.
