notes
Laura was born and raised in New York City in a family where music was always present. Surrounded by a variety of great influences, the love of music, art, dance, and poetry took root deeply, and early on. She spent summers in a house built by her great-grandfather in the mountains upstate, and there, fell deeply in love with the natural world.
Since then, she has been a graphic and fine artist, a teacher, a Reiki practitioner, and a parent, which she calls "the most important part of my work in the world."
"I take a lot of my cues from the natural world, from writers, artists, healers, great teachers, and music. I try to keep my antennas in good working order, my willingness to look, and my effort to keep growing alive and well. I feel lucky to be able to laugh often, and especially at myself."
In recent years, music has moved back toward the center of her life, where she feels it belongs. This is her second album, and an expression of that renewed love and creative energy that "lets these songs show up."
Laura currently lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Here are some snippets of reviews:
"Laura Golden's voice is in fact quite golden.
... her material, though apparently simple, is very much about exploration.
...Golden's classy voice, solid instrumentation, and transparent writing are consistently good."
-Joel Dunham
"There are no words that adequately describe the
profound encouragement you are giving to me and others through your music!"
-Peggy Harrington
"What Arose:
Love without romanticism
Health without prissiness
Sensuality without baseness
Beauty without ostentation
Humility without negation
Your words are so challenging and comforting at the same time. I am invited to a deeper appreciation and a more gentle holding, of Life."
-Wesley Lachman

I am moved by the music of Laura Golden. I am moved by the way she delivers her lyrics. I am moved by the timber of her voice.because Laura is so good at what she does,laura has me walk where she walks, see what she sees, and feel what she feels. Laura Golden is captivating. and I am so grateful that spring has come around again in my life.
Lovingly passionate, heartfelt and intuitive, musically enchanting
author: Rachael MortensenWhat a gift to have someone with Laura's talent share her heart with us all. From childhood to young adult; from motherhood to maturity; her experiences touch us all and offer a glimpse into the paths of her life. And perhaps, into our own. The road she has taken has led her to her voice, and we are fortunate to be along for the ride.
Intricate, relaxing, stimulating...
author: Art KennedyIntellectually, emotionally, harmonically, and stylistically intricate. Relaxing and stimulating at the same time. How's she do that?
Laura Golden's golden voice gives me goosebumps!
author: lorraine kerwoodThis CD is way easy on my ears. Lyrics are clever, playful, and deep. I appreciate Laura's ability to NOT be maudlin and sad about everything, like some artists do. Laura's voice is smooth, smooth, smooth. It kinda feels like she is sitting in my living room and talking. Nice. My favorite is when she is singing and the guitar is playing, but I also enjoyed the instrumental accompaniment in this collection.
