"With a breathy voice and a keen sense of melody, Annapolis-based
singer/songwriter Laura Brino has a charming musical appeal. Brino has
noticeably grown as an artist since her January 2007 session on
Baltimore Unsigned.
Laura's new six-song EP Elephant has a warm, breezy feel that's
fitting for the start of summer. From bubbly tracks like "Something
More" to the wistful "I Fold," it's clear Brino has a bright future."

December 2006 Maverick Magazine CD Review
"Though born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, Laura Brino wrote most of
the songs on A STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL TRIP[www.laurabrino.com] in a
small motel room in Wyoming. Returning east, she started performing in
the Washington DC and Baltimore area and self-penned songs that make
up this debut album. There's a strident barroom piano tinkling
away in the background of the forlorn Dear Mister Moonshine, piano is to
fore on the reflective Drinking all My Woman, whereas, Junebug has a more
rootsy feel, very much in the Norah Jones style. With a powerful yet at
times quite delicate, vocal sound, Laura pours out all her innermost emotions
during the course of this fine album."
