Lauren has been studying the art of singing and performing for over 25 years. She graduated from St. Olaf College in 2003 with a degree in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts with an emphasis in Dance and Music. Lauren started out singing jazz with big bands all throughout her education and then began to study classical voice technique in 1995. Her biggest influences on vocal technique were Emma Small and David Jones.
She has performed everything from operetta, to performance art, to new wave rock. Experimenting with the range that the human voice is capable of producing is a passion that Lauren is eager to share. In the past, Lauren has performed with the Guthrie Theater, Walker Art Center, VocalEssence, TigerLion Arts, the History Theater, Mixed Precipitation and other companies in the Twin Cities. She has sung backup with the Talking Heads tribute project, Slippery People. Lauren was the primary chanteuse and played ukulele for 10 years with the Hula Peppers. In 2020, she founded Boots & Needles with her husband, Dallas Cornell. Boots & Needles brings her love of traditional folk, country blues, 1960's and 70's country and rockabilly music together. She is interested in helping students unlock their authentic voice and bringing ease and power to vocal production.
