Get to know Laurie through our exclusive interview!
I’m inspired by: People who can create entire worlds in their head
I realized I wanted to play music when: The first time I sang in a choir
Four songs you might find on my personal playlist: St. Judy’s Comet (Paul Simon), ‘Ulili E (Dennis Kamakahi), Willow (Joan Armatrading), It’s Quiet Uptown (Lin Manuel Miranda/Hamilton)
One word I would use to describe myself: persistent
The best part of being a musician is: getting to play music as my job!
Right now, I’m most excited about: discovering what it will be like to perform with new bass player in my band
Something most people don’t know about me is: I am addicted to the NYTimes Spelling Bee game
One of my happiest moments was: having my daughter
My music is: something that helps me be a better person, and I hope something that brings joy to other people
In ten years, I see myself: singing!
Another Laurie Berkner Christmas and Buzz Buzz are both available on LaurieBerkner.com for a suggested retail of $9.98 digital or $10.98 physical. Follow Laurie on Twitter, Pinterest and TikTok @LaurieBerkner, and on Facebook and Instagram @LaurieBerknerBand.
