Laura Rain is a product of Detroit, a hard-driving soul singer who uses the power and finesse of her voice to inspire and electrify your spirit. Born and raised in the Motor City, where her father engineered conveyer systems for the auto plants, she delivers her original music with fearless emotion and excitement. Along with her musical partner George Friend, the multi-award- winning band has released five albums, eight singles, and traveled the world playing a unique blend of contemporary soul, blues and R&B worthy of Detroit’s rich history of musical innovators.It is the Motor City where Aretha Franklin, Parliament-Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye all lived and created. A town where singers are continually influencing and defining the world around themselves. Rain creates her own environment of expression through her music. Releasing albums of all original music since 2013, the band blends their favorite elements of funky ‘60s organ jazz, lowdown blues, dance music, old-school R&B, and soul. Rain and Friend have created a unique style, winning a prestigious Detroit Music Award for “Outstanding Blues Songwriters” and touring the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Laura Rain’s voice soars as she weaves her own path through a classic, but thoroughly modern, funky sound, reimagining the R&B, gospel, blues and soul that the city made famous.
