Laura Pauline Veirs (born October 24, 1973) is an American singer-songwriter.
Veirs was raised in Colorado, studied geology and Mandarin Chinese at Carleton College, worked as a translator for a geological expedition in China, and now lives in Portland, Oregon.
While growing up, she heard folk-country, classical, and pop music at home. However, she didn't "listen seriously," she says, until her 20s. At Carleton, she joined an all-girl punk band called Rair Kx!. After graduation, her taste moved to older country and folk, and during her time in China she began writing lyrics.
In 1999, Veirs released a self-titled album, which was recorded live and featuring just herself and guitar. 2003 saw the release of Troubled by the Fire, accompanied by veteran musicians such as Bill Frisell. She then signed to Nonesuch and released Carbon Glacier. Year of Meteors followed in August 2005. Year of Meteors was selected by the New York Times as a "critics choice".
Veirs released Saltbreakers in 2007. July Flame appeared in January 2010 on her Raven Marching band label. The Washington Post praised it.
July Flame is American singer-songwriter Laura Veirs' seventh studio album, released on January 12, 2010.
The title comes from a type of peach Veirs saw at a farmer's market.Jim James of American rock band My Morning Jacket contributes falsetto harmonies on several tracks, including "Carol Kaye" which is a tribute to the so named bass guitarist.
Reviews of July Flame have been favorable. The Independent calls it an "obliquely beautiful record, as they tend to be. Poetic and simple". The New York Times says it is "full of layered folk and indie-rock bucolia and plain-spoken but stretchy-thinking language" and "there are some great, seemingly unforced, séancelike moments here".The Guardian praises the album as "so extravagantly beautiful that it will send you scurrying back to its predecessors".Entertainment Weekly writes that the album "sends us on hikes through dreamy landscapes evoked by her uniquely tangy voice, casting minimal instrumentation in glistening arrangements to captivate the melancholy imagination."Paste Magazine proclaims that the album is Veirs' "finest work", and says "It's hard to imagine a better soundtrack to the chilly months than this collection of heady, steady, pensive songs".

Yes thats a lot of photos! * The fireworks were made from over 180 individual peaches. * The puppets are painted paper glued to a backing. * The matches are one of my favorite things in the video. I loved drawing the cover. * The puppets/set took 3 weeks to design and build. Shooting took 2 weeks. * Watch for cameo performances from the Phantom Mountain chicken and paper clip. * The desk is my Grandmas old kitchen table. You may remember it from the Phantom Mountain video

Laura Veirs is one of the best kept secrets of the music industry and although she's blindingly talented, almost nobody knows her in Europe. Hopefully this will change with the release of her brand new album ("July Flame") later this month, but until then let's fall back in love again with her 2007 release titled "Saltbreakers". Track 4.

They were used to being in charge of their own voices, their own lyrics, their own paths. But recently, singers Neko Case, K.D. Lang and Laura Veirs put autonomy aside to form a single group. The goal was to create a new album containing only songs they wrote together. Though the collaboration proved challenging, it has paid off with a successful tour, critical praise and an artistic “family.”

Goodbye, black butterfly
You can take those perfect wings into outer space
'Cause there's no place left in this blood
For your restless fluttering, your sleepless ways
Black butterfly, flutter me by
Kick a little bitter into the night
Spark of the stars leaving on my heart
Trying to be good by you, alright, alright
Salt breeze, rose city sunset
The bats are swinging 'round me like drunken ships
Ever, evergreen bows above me tower
Singing quiet stories 'bout forgiveness
Black butterfly, flutter me by
Kick a little bitter into the night
Spark of the stars leaving on my heart
Trying to be good by you, alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
