Welcome to my new Website

Writer's picture: Lauren KinhanLauren Kinhan

Websites are like closets, you have to clean them out and make room for new stuff, new ways to see your things, new ways to get excited about getting dressed and seizing the day. I wanted to create something that told my story much better, expressed how much I love what I do and allowed a window into the interior. I wanted a place that had all my artistic belongings....music, videos, events and offerings in one place, and I wanted a place that I could blog, create a community away from social media platforms to talk about the things I am passionate about. I'm of a certain age, and with that comes a combination of wisdom and being out of step with what all the kids are doing. And that's a good thing, because youth is not the only trend setter in keeping art vibrant. In fact, the more we hear from our elders, the more we learn about what is ahead for us as we grow into our older artistic personas. I can't say I've ever been a follower, but now maybe even more so, its fun to agitate and elevate the art and the conversations. I feel as vital as ever and want to keep asking my imagination and knowledge to keep up with my ambition. And while ambition is not always a word that correlates with economic renumeration, I still need and want to make things. So here's the place where you will find me....on the corner of art and curiosity.....rotating my closet, emptying boxes, adding new pieces and keeping the door open.


Take a look around and let me know what you think.

Avalon - "Poetric tracks that shape a pastiche that is hip, intelligent and vibrant

Circle in a Square - A Triumph!  The next time someone tells you that modern music is soulless, does not "speak" to the human condition, refer them to "Circle In A Square."  Lauren Kinhan and her ensemble has created music that  artfully and splendidly avoids labels such as jazz, pop or funk; this is music that connects on multiple levels with grace, fire and a mature understanding of how one navigates through the shifty terrain of modern life.
- Step Tempest, Richard B. Kamins

A Sleepin Bee - 41/2 Stars, - Downbeat, Michael C. Bailey
It's a work rich with invention and focused intentions, neither fitting nor breaking a mold, but rather, reshaping one...Every single song in this collection hits a sweet spot of a different sort, but the most pleasing aspect of the recording is how it uncovers the stripped-down, soulful side of Kinhan's voice.
- All About Jazz, Dan Bilawsky
