Biography Lauren Crane was born on the cusp of the Great Lake Erie in a yellow house built by her father’s hand. She grew up meandering along the lakeshore, counting dead fish and bottle caps, skipping stones, running around in the woods, splashing in ponds and streams, eating plums straight off the trees, catching snakes, pollywogs and hell. Her ears were filled with the sounds of crashing waves, crickets, bees, Baptist hymns, the Beatles, Roy Orbison, Billie Holiday, Simon and Garfunkel, her father’s “Hillbilly Music,” and Saturday’s Texaco Opera. These are the threads from which her cloth was cut and the influences that shape her music. Lauren’s songs can be fat with bumblebees, soft as silk, saucy, sexy, sardonic, sad, yet with wisps of humor, colorful imagination and tactile feelings woven throughout. Her oft-bluesy delivery and lyrics that stick in your head like wet Lake Erie sand, tell stories that can delight and surprise. Whether it’s the murder and extortion in Old Washer Woman, sweet love in Makin’ Honey, or the smoky Mama Got Big Thighs, her songs seem to possess an old and enduring soul.
