Laura Veirs grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she often spent summers camping with her family, which gave her much of her songwriting inspiration. Veirs has said that she didn’t seriously listen to music until she was in her 20s; instead, she just heard what was in her environment. She listened to folk, country, classical and pop music around the house and on the radio during her youth.
Attending Carleton College in rural Minnesota, Veirs latched onto feminist punk rock from the Pacific Northwest, eventually starting an all-female punk band called “Rair Kx!”. Laura studied geology and Mandarin Chinese. After college, she embraced older country and folk music. Her first foray into songwriting started with a geological expedition in China, where she served as translator. She was miserable and immersed herself into writing lyrics as a way of coping.
She put out her own self-titled album Laura Veirs, recorded live and featuring just her and guitar, in 1999. She has since made five highly acclaimed records with producer Tucker Martine. 2003 saw the release of Troubled by the Fire, a full-band effort that found the artist sharing the studio with such luminaries as Bill Frisell and violist Eyvind Kang. She signed to Nonesuch Records the following year with the atmospheric follow-up Carbon Glacier. Year of Meteors followed in August 2005. She collaborated with The Decemberists on “Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)”, from their 2006 album The Crane Wife.

New album?

New album is astonishingly beautiful. Totally influenced by what Fleet Foxes did with their debut, but wonderful nonetheless.

New album sounds good - I might like it more than Year of Meteors. It's more upbeat, at least.

I saw her open for Tegan and Sara three weeks ago. I hadn't heard any of her stuff before so I got Year of Meteors, which I really enjoy. I wasn't too keen of her live performance the first night, however I really enjoyed it the second night. It was more like an acoustic set.

Voice is not the best, but hey, I can't sing either. Love her songs though. Hope she has a Dutch gig too on her new tour :)

I wouldn't call it horrible. She reminds me of Dylan, I guess. He was never that technically proficient either, I guess, but there's definitely something about his voice that makes it more 'listenable' than just any random person, IMO.

Her voice is horrible, nothing special at all - like listening to a friend with no real talent singing, but I LOVE the music anyway. I'm not sure why, but I really do. One of my favorite bands hands down.

Haven't seen her live, but with the exception of a lot of the Carbon Glacier album, completely disagree about the songs

Saw her open for the Decemberists, was not impressed. Her voice isn't that great, she yells more than sings. Her songs are all marginal, very generic indie stuff. One started out kind of intriguing, but then was ruined by about a minute of syllables instead of lyrics.
