Lauren Kinhan has been - and is - many things in her life: vocalist, songwriter, producer, musician, mother and wife. For most of her career, she's been best known as a member of the highly acclaimed jazz vocal group, The New York Voices. As if to solidify her reputation as a group singer, in the past few years she's also been performing regularly with two additional vocal ensembles, the more experimental Moss and the more traditional JaLaLa. But it's high time that Ms. Kinhan got around to making a "solo" album - one where the focus is on her own singing and writing and interpretation. E1 Music is proud to release: Avalon, which spotlights Lauren Kinhan as both singer and composer - from beginning to end. Her previous solo project is Hardly Blinking, produced by the legendary prince of pop Phil Ramone in 2000, which was released by Kinhan independently.

  • Lauren Kinhan on funding her album - Circle in a Square / Marketplace Morning Report interview
    Posted At: May 1, 2014 12:00 AM

    Over the years on Marketplace we've tried to cajole artists to talk business. It's not easy -- many are more comfortable talking about inspiration and passion than getting their hands dirty with money. But if you want to bring a creative project to fruition, there are money choices to be made. For instance, jazz musician Lauren Kinhan decided to go online to crow...

    You think you've got the lowdown on female singer/songwriters? Lauren Kinhan is going to give Lorraine Feather a run for her money for the award for clever lyricist. This lady from New York Voices either writes it all herself, or tams up with various composers for a collection of poignant and infectious tunes.
