What to expect

I personalize each performance to parallel the occasion from attire to chosen songs. I have a powerful yet minimal Bose tower speaker set up with my Yamaha keyboard.

I pride myself on being background music when necessary and more of an entertainer when requested.

I also offer the Bluetooth feature which enables me to perform live piano with the actual artist and song.

About

Laura Sawosko is an artist in every sense of the word as a pianist, singer-songwriter, guitarist, piano instructor and painter.

After graduating Cum Laude from Arizona State University with a degree in Music, she toured the West Coast.

Laura was the keyboardist in the band Surrender Dorothy which opened for Lilith Fair with Sarah McLachlin, Sheryl Crow, and Dido. Laura has opened for other major artists including Edwin McCain and Sarah Buxton during her successful solo career.

She released four albums under her indie label Lolo Records and
composed the original piano score for the independent film, An Intimate Friendship, by Filling The Gap Productions. It was acclaimed by audiences everywhere after headlining both national and international film festivals.

You also may have seen Laura on NBC's #1 rated show, Fear Factor. Although she did not win, it only proves how fearless Laura is in life and as an artist.

Laura moved to Nashville in 2010 and her music has truly evolved. Her songs have been recognized by Publishers for her graphic story telling with a melodic and poetic undertone.

She continues to entertain audiences with her first instrument, the piano. She describes playing the piano “like breathing” because she has been playing since she was six years old. Her impressive portfolio includes weddings, corporate events, private functions and Casinos.

"Young, fresh, talented...there are not enough words to describe the incredibly gifted composer/musician Laura Sawosko." Filling The Gap Productions.


Laura is affiliated with NSAI and ASCAP and has played at the famous Bluebird Cafe, Listening Room, Douglas Corner and numerous other venues which features original music.

Additional booking notes

I do not require any specific lighting or sound. I can perform with my own sound system upon request and all of my music is on my iPad so I can perform in any lighting.

Set list

Genres include Country, Jazz, Classical, Pop and original compositions.

Songs in my typical set list include Billy Joel’s Piano Man, Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me to the Moon, Mark Cohen’s Walking In Memphis, Pachabel’s Canon in D Major and A River Flows in You by Yiruma.

Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis is always a favorite.

Influences and inspiration

Tori Amos has definitely influenced my piano playing the most. I grew up listening to Billy Joel and Elton John, so their powerful use of chords and melodies shaped me as an artist as well.

Setup requirements

I only require an outlet for my keyboard and Bose speaker. Simple hassle free set up.
