“Lauren Halliwell is a powerhouse vocalist whose soulful presence and dynamic stage energy captivate audiences every time she performs. Whether leading the Dirty Sound or other bands, her talent and versatility make her a standout in the Bay Area jazz and blues scene!”


— Dan Orloff, Board of Directors, Fountain Blues Foundation. 

“I first became aware of Lauren’s singing through her position as lead singer with Bay Area’s seasoned Sam Varela Band. Based on the electric material I wanted to do, I preferred a singer with the chops, subtlety, and range of emotion needed for that session. The exact skills that Lauren possesses. It was the obvious and correct choice to have Lauren on those recordings. The positive feedback and accolades are a testament to that.”
