She released her first album “Revelation” in 2020 on Wolfe Island Records. She was so moved by the year long journey of her first album, that she often returns to Wolfe Island. Fortuitously in 2021 she met producer/drummer Steven Williams on a gig and soon after they started working together on her second album Ol’ Kentucky Light. Through Steven, she met and began co-writing and working with musicians Walter Parks, Askold Buk, Teddy Kumpel, Etienne Lytle, Paul Frazier and others. She feels fortunate to have found this group of exceptional, award-winning talents in New York City.

In the summer of 2023, she began writing on “The Gospel of Getting Free.” Around the same time, she began her work in somatic trauma therapy which created a rapid shift in her emotional life. While this next album continues the melancholy, heartbroken themes of the first two albums, she suddenly felt compelled to write songs about joy and hope. Contacting a more ecstatic approach to her music led her to go deeper into gospel music, which was a key inspiration for her second album “Ol’ Kentucky Light.” In The Gospel of Getting Free,” she went further, choosing simpler lyrics and  trusting the music to lead her into the journey of a song. She wanted to make music that could move the spirit.

The human impulse to take devastation and transform it into a melody, a story, a rhythm, is what drives Lara to create music. All the darkness she has lived through has been the fuel for her to turn her tragedies into music. She believes despair and hopelessness are energies to be endured in order to get to the light and to personal emotional freedom. The alchemy of music and design, the creative process, is there to remind humans that all is not lost.

Lara makes music for human beings because she believes in their highest ability to do good, to feel better and to know that they are not alone in this world.

Lara has not entirely left the world of design. In 2023 she started a vintage garment rental company called Lara Sings Vintage. It is a collection of her own clothes that she has spent a lifetime amassing over a 40-year period. Wearing beautiful design is one of her favorite pastimes after making music. She loves intermingling music with styling her outfits for her shows. Not ironically, most of her clients are musicians.  She lives peacefully in Manhattan with her dog and cat and a beautiful collection of hats that hang on her living room wall.
