Hailing from the South Wales Valleys, Laura Evans has been captivating audiences since she first picked up a microphone at the age of five. By fourteen, she was already writing songs that showcased the raw honesty and powerful emotion that would become her signature. With a distinctive powerful voice that defies genre, blending soulful blues, heartfelt pop, and touches of rock, Laura stands out as a true force on today’s music scene.

Laura burst onto the scene with her debut album State Of Mind in 2022, a record that drew praise from Classic Rock Magazine, who likened her to a modern-day Stevie Nicks. The album’s success earned her the cover spot on Spotify’s ‘Nu Blue’ playlist and regular spins on Cerys Matthews’ Radio 2 Blues Show and BBC Radio Wales, cementing her as one of the UK’s rising blues voices. To date, her music has resonated around the world, racking up over 6 million streams on Spotify alone.

With her reputation for electric live shows, Laura quickly became the go-to artist to join heavyweight tours, sharing the stage with the likes of Robert Jon & The Wreck, Cardinal Black, and Walter Trout. In 2023 and 2024, she took her sound across Europe, lighting up stages in the Netherlands, Germany, and France and picking up rave reviews along the way, with fans and critics alike hailing her as the real deal.

A major milestone came recently when Laura’s music was added to the BBC Radio 2 playlist, a rare feat for an independent artist, with enthusiastic support from presenters across the station, including Scott Mills on his breakfast show.

Following a whirlwind few years, Laura released her acclaimed sophomore album, Out of the Dark, in October 2025. Co-written and produced by Ian Barter (Amy Winehouse, Paloma Faith), the album debuted at No. 1 on the UK Blues Chart and broke into the Top 30 of the Official Americana Chart. Featuring the hit single Honest, which earned a place on the BBC Radio 2 playlist, the record received strong support from BBC Radio Wales and broadcasters nationwide. With growing critical acclaim and a rapidly expanding fanbase, Laura continues to establish herself as one of the leading new voices in British blues, rock and Americana.
