CALIFORNIA AMERICANA/ROOTS ROCK SINGER-SONGWRITER, LAUREN ADAMS TO HOLD CD PRE-RELEASE PARTY FOR “SECRET HEART†AT MOLLY MALONE’S AND WILL PLAY ON KCSN-FM RADIO IN OCTOBER
Los Angeles, CA: Independent singer-songwriter Lauren Adams will host a pre-release party for her latest CD “Secret Heartâ€. The no cover event will be on October 13, 2007 at Molly Malone’s Pub in Los Angeles, running from 7:30-9:00PM PST. Lauren has been a vital part of the L.A. music scene, currently produces and hosts the monthly show, The Americana Music Circle, held at Kulak’s Woodshed in Los Angeles, CA and chose to release her latest album, “Secret Heart†in her hometown before it will be distributed worldwide. She chose to hold this special party in honor of the loyal fans who pre-ordered “Secret Heart†to help finance production and manufacturing costs for the CD. Adams has found the generosity and unwavering support of her fans staggering, and wants to express her heartfelt gratitude at this celebration. Come out for this talent packed show!
“Secret Heart†is already garnering much attention from the music industry. With the stellar musicianship on the CD, it's no secret as to why. Produced by guitar veteran Nick Newell Kirgo, the album is a virtual who’s who of the L.A. music scene. Kirgo and Adams provide extraordinary guitar work along with the likes of David Sutton (Lucinda Williams, Tracy Chapman) laying down bass, Gary Mallaber (Steve Miller Band, Eddie Money, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen) manning the drums, John “JT†Thomas (Bruce Hornsby) rounding things out on keyboards, and Jesse Valenzuela (Gin Blossoms) on harmonica.
“You'll find her exploring the well-worn American inland where folk, blues and gospel predominate . . . a husky voice admits to disappointment, but tough guitar strokes and bright piano convey the strength to survive.†-Sean Piccoli, Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
Lauren Adams just received two honorable mentions at this year’s International Songwriting Competition for both “Thirsty†and “Secret Heartâ€. “Thirsty†was also recently featured in the Lion's Gate movie, Peaceful Warrior, starring Nick Nolte. The "Secret Heart" track was written exclusively for an improvised film in the works, The Canvas. Adams is actively involved in raising money for local charitable organizations including, Children of the Night (rescues runaway teens in Hollywood) and Hep C Aware (Hepatitis C awareness group), and benefits for fellow musicians in need of health care just to name a few.
On October 6th, tune in at 8:00AM PST to hear Lauren on KCSN-88.5FM in L.A. during Larry Wine’s “Tied to the Tracks†radio show. The show will also stream live on their website at: www.kcsn.org
Her U.S. & European tours are scheduled for early 2008 to coincide with the official release of the new album, “Secret Heartâ€.
Advance copies of the Lauren Adams CD, “Secret Heart†will soon be available for purchase at CD Baby, iTunes, Yahoo Music, Best Buy, Rhapsody, MSN Music, and DigStation.
