Because Even Love Needs a Contingency PlanThis edition of 2nd Saturdays concerns the heart, an organ known for making decisions without consulting the available data. Fortunately, the musicians you’ll hear tonight have developed a number of contingency strategies for just such situations. Their songs address alternate routes, emergency procedures, and the occasional reboot.
Laura Benitez, songwriter, lead singer and founder of Laura Benitez and the Heartache, has been making her mark on stage and screen since 2000. She spent several years appearing in soap operas and commercials in Los Angeles before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004, diving into the region’s rich Americana and Roots music scenes. Taking her musical cues from the heavily rock influenced Bakersfield sound, and her lyric inspiration from her favorite songwriters Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn, Laura began writing songs in 2008. The band released their 4th studio album, California Centuries, in 2022, and in 2023 played at Mill Valley Music Festival as well as opening for Pacos and the Rooftops, Taylor Rae and Dale Hollow.
