Lara Price Band

A Little About Lara

She was born to perform.

Her musical journey started at the young age of 6, taking piano lessons with Legendary 80's music innovator Howard Jones. At 12 she was singing solo and went on to train operatically with Dr. Lynn Berg at Boise State University. She arrived in the Bay Area in 1998 in search of her dream of singing in a band. Lara began running her own blues jam at JJ’s Blues, and was featured in an inspiring article about blues jams in the September 2000 issue of the Blues Revue.

Lara fell in love with the blues without expecting to, "I didn't find the blues, the blues found me".

She has come a long way in a short time, earning loyal fans worldwide. The journey of Lara's blues band (The Lara Price Band) includes 4 great CD's, a tour across the U.S.A. and China, and many performances at world renowned festivals such as the Monterey Blues Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival and Summer Solstice Blues Festival in Massachusetts. Lara and her band have shared the bill with headliners Etta James, Little Richard, James Brown, Bobby Blue Bland and many more. Lara also lent her talent to sing back-up with Triple Seven at the Fillmore in San Francisco, opening up for the pop band Smashmouth.

Lara fronts and leads several musical projects: Lara and Laura Unplugged, an acoustic duo with guitar phenom Laura Chavez; Velvet Plum, a popular bay area cover band that includes talent from San Jose's finest musicians; and the Lara Price band, a soulful rockin' blues band.

The Lara Price Band is currently featured on the Ruf Records international release "Blues Guitar Women" and has been written up as the "Hot Pick" on the CD by Guitar One Magazine.

Lara looks forward to promoting her own CD "I Got News" with co- writer and lead guitarist Laura Chavez.

She’s an All American singer with a sultry stage presence and a voice that demands you're attention-smoky, lonely, sexy, and powerful. It's no wonder her music transcends the blues and crosses a line into music that is unequivocally superb.

"It’s all about the love of music and letting the crowd share in my passion."
