Join us as the Reading Room Music Series welcomes Washington D.C. based singer-songwriter Lauren Calve!  Lauren has become known for her strong, soulful vocal style and skillful playing, reminding one of Patty Griffin’s dynamic voice, Bonnie Raitt’s smoky aura, and Ben Harper’s unique slide style.

“Lauren is an amazing singer and a clear, confident performer. Her songs range from tender ballads to edgy rock and blues, and she utilizes those vocal chops to bring the full range of them to life.”  KATHY MATTEA

“Lauren Calve is an old soul with a voice to match. It’s been terrific to watch her evolution. I can’t wait to see what’s next.”   RHETT MILLER

“Lauren tears off pieces of her soul, rhymes them and shares them with a voice that is righteously cool.”   RAY WYLIE HUBBARD

American Songwriter magazine praised Lauren’s 2023 album, Shift, as “one of the most notable debut recordings this year”.
