Raised in the small logging town of Coquille, Oregon, Laura Gibson is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer with a hushed, honest and slightly otherworldly voice. That voice sparked a phenomenon. When NPR Music staff couldn't hear her over a noisy crowd at SXSW in 2008, they invited her to play at a colleague's desk instead, and the very first Tiny Desk Concert was born. Across five albums, from If You Come to Greet Me (2006) and Beasts of Seasons (2009) to Empire Builder (2016) and the grief-soaked Goners (2018), she has blended folk roots with an experimental streak. Along the way, she has become known as one of the most perceptive lyricists around.
Away from music, she earned an MFA in fiction from Hunter College, finishing her thesis in the back of a tour van, and composed the original music for Oregon Public Broadcasting's award-winning podcast Timber Wars. UK fans have plenty of history with her too, from headline shows in London, Manchester and Bristol to sets at Green Man and End of the Road. She has also played support slots with Calexico, Alela Diane and Richmond Fontaine. Her live shows are intimate affairs, full of songs that are warm, wise and often wryly funny.
