| Laura Sawosko Laura Sawosko began her ambitious solo career as a singer/songwriter in 1999, after leaving the band which opened for the 1999 Phoenix Lilith Fair with Sarah McLachlin, Sheryl Crow, and Dido. Although Laura's genre of music is similar to these female artists, she doesn't like to compare herself to her fellow musicians. Her songs not only reflect her own personal journey, but draw you into your own as well, through honesty and childlike imagery. Her vocal, guitar, and piano techniques introduces another layer of melodic and technical genius.
