Singer-songwriter Laura Zucker wins audiences over with a hard-won perspective and a positive spin. The powerful imagery of her songs and stories ring so true you might think she's read your diary - and you'll find yourself humming her infectious melodies for days to come. A New Jersey native transplanted to California, she's a two-time finalist in the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition in Texas, 5 time West Coast Songwriters Association Best Song of the Year, and has received accolades and awards from around the world. With three prior releases to her credit, in this, her fourth, Laura continues to impress with incisive yet sensitive lyrics, evocative melodies and arrangement that cut straight to the heart, and takes her place among the best songwriters you will hear. Life Wide Open, Laura Zucker's fourth release, is a collection of songs reflecting on the inevitability of change and our simultaneous longing for and fear of it. 11 original songs feature the collaborative work of Zucker and her producer/engineer/sideman/straightman/confidante Kevin Harris. Life Wide Open is a haven for those feeling trapped and afraid, those renewed by a new-found determination to make every minute count, and those surprised by the changes they see in themselves.
