Lauren is a freelance music journalist. She finds inspiration in blown speakers, venues with palpable energy, and disarrayed collections of ticket stubs. She doesn’t just experience music from one side of the stage; she is a songwriter, guitarist, and cellist. When not at shows or writing, her free time is spent with her cat, Samo.
