There’s also a nice recap of ACL 2009.

Elliot Cole’s talk with Lauren Larson of Ume is the WOXY pick in this issue. “I’m an unlikely candidate to be some sort of rocker woman,” she tells Cole. He’s right on the money, though, responding “She is soft-spoken and articulate, inoffensive but direct. She’s also dead-on in her analysis: with her long, blonde hair; petite frame; and infectious, upbeat spirit, she doesn’t make for the typecast rockstar. She’s far too intelligent, far too jovial, and far too composed to be the same girl that, night-in and night-out, is known for thrashing around on stage like a crazed banshee.”

Sounds like the Lauren we know and love! Don’t miss the latest issue of Soundcheck Magazine, and while you’re at their site, stream WOXY and grab our iPhone app.
