Lauren Mann

After releasing her album ‘Dearestly’ in 2016 with a 50 date Canadian tour, west coast songstress Lauren Mann took a few years off the road to find her muse again, soaking up the inspiration of her Gulf Island home and devoting her time to writing. In the process she became quite involved in her local arts community, leading songwriting workshops, collaborating with other musicians, and helping to launch arts programming in visual arts, filmmaking, music and dance through a local arts organization. This creative diversification continued to inspire Lauren’s own artistic pursuit, giving breadth to her already varied musical abilities. She has explored new directions while maintaining the authenticity that has attracted listeners to her sound since the beginning in 2009.

Late 2018 marked the release of ‘Innocence’ – Lauren's first single since the album ‘Dearestly’ – and an accompanying music video. The song itself is a harkening back to simplicity, remembering and reclaiming the past in order to move forward in a new way; a striking parallel to her own personal journey of the past few years.

With three albums and hundreds of shows already under her belt, Lauren is taking her new energy and a fresh collection of songs into the studio to begin working on her fourth album with producer and collaborator Josh Rob Gwilliam. Marked by a maturity that carries deeper honesty, tangible vulnerability, and a renewed effervescence, she’s taking herself and her music back to her roots: finding connection and common ground through creating authentic art.
