Laura Gibson is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, born and raised in the small Oregon logging town of Coquille. Her most recent album Goners (Barsuk/City Slang) was praised by NPR as “a gripping collection of songs about accountability and grief.” The Fader called it, “so incessantly beautiful that one cannot help but want to gently crack it open to get to its beating core.” The New York Times described her work as “longing and instinct, and whether they can ever converge.”

Both literary and raw, with a love of traditional folk music and a bent toward experimentation, Gibson has performed on four continents and had the distinct honor of playing the very first NPR Tiny Desk Concert (and returned for the 200th Tiny Desk).
