On top of that our entire archive of Laura Veirs T-Shirts has been updated and priced at $7 each! Use discount code LOOKOUT2019! at the time of checkout! Buy a record for your grandma, a book for your kid, a shirt for your cousin or a CD for your dog. END-OF-YEAR UPDATE: On the day after Thanksgiving I reflect on my gratitude for a wonderful year. My friends and family are healthy and happy (despite our country being run by monsters) and we have music, art, literature and nature to soothe our souls. This was a productive year for me on many levels and I’m grateful to all the fans, managers, editors, family members, collaborators and friends who have helped support my endeavors. NEW ALBUM - My new album “The Lookout” received great reviews and many of you came out and supported our Spring and Fall tours in the US and Europe. Thanks for the love! NEW BOOK - My historical biography picture book about Elizabeth Cotten came out as well. It received several starred reviews, a Parent’s Choice Award and was short-listed for the Pacific Northwest Book Award. It’s called “Libba”. NEW PODCAST - I also launched a podcast called Midnight Lightning about the lives of musician parents. Though I’ve put the podcast on hold for the time being I learned an immense amount from doing interviews with 15 awesome women. NEW STUDIO - My husband Tucker and I purchased a building near our home for a new recording studio - our “forever studio” (hopefully!) It used to be a motorcycle gang hangout - if only those walls could talk! The build-out of the studio has been a huge and expensive undertaking but it is nearing completion. I look forward to making albums there and to hearing all the other incredible music to come out of there in the near future. Go Tucker and all the folks who are bringing this thing to life!

I’ll be playing some songs at this event in Portland on November 9th. Founded in PDX, Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls is doing amazing work around the country and the world to provide girls with musical confidence, camaraderie and experiences that I wish I’d had access to as a kid.
