Laura Workman commands the stage as the dynamic lead singer of Brass In Pocket - The Pretenders Experience

Laura is a powerhouse vocalist who brings heart, grit, warmth, and unmistakable rock-and-roll attitude to every performance. Her goal is simple: don’t just sing the song—make the audience feel it.

“Her energy rocks—the total experience is not to be missed!”

She first discovered the power of emotional storytelling at five years old, watching Karen Carpenter perform and realizing how deeply a voice could move people. That early inspiration shaped Laura’s approach to singing and performing ever since.

As the frontwoman of Brass in Pocket – The Pretenders Experience, Laura channels the unmistakable spirit of Chrissie Hynde—the cool confidence, sharp phrasing, swagger, vulnerability, and rebellious edge that make her such an iconic frontwoman. Laura doesn’t simply imitate Hynde; she captures the attitude and emotional honesty behind the music while bringing her own personality and energy to the stage.

The result is a performance that feels powerful, authentic, and alive.

“An energetic, dynamic powerhouse - and man does she deliver!”
