Description

"Lynn Bobby is full of driving rock energy. All original and non-stop energy. Attempting to explain Lynn Bobby's music is quite a challenge. Groundbreaking, original, surprising and impossible to categorize... that's a start. A friend tried and said 'she can rock as hard as anyone and then create the most tender ballads imaginable.' She's hard to figure out... Growing up in Michigan, Lynn was strongly influenced by heartland rock and roll and Motown classics. Her songs travel genres effortlessly. Rock, soul, country, folk... call it what you like. You..ll never consider her songs as background music. Lynn's songs draw you in. Her lyrics are, at once, smooth and flowing, then take a quick turn with surprising twists. Lynn's band turns in one inspiring performance after another on these tracks. There is a creative energy at work here that is a revelation. This music is about bitter truths and sweet longings. Cold realities and warm hopes. Lynn is backed by inspired musicians like Howard Vatcher on electric guitar adding unique layers and textures that make these songs soar. Satin and steel. Silk and sandpaper. It's wind whipped in the hot sand.. and the most relaxing, deepest breath you've ever known. That's a start. But I still can't explain Lynn Bobby. I'll always enjoy trying, but sometimes the pleasure is in the indefinable mystery."

"Laura Zucker began writing songs in high school, and began performing at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ.

She recorded her first CD 'Left Foot Forward' in the spring of 2006. 'The Confession' won the Second Grand Prize in the WCSA International Song Contest. Her new CD “Left Foot Forward” was released November 1st, 2009."
