Laurie Shefsky
I have been working with Laurie Shefsky on projects since the early 1990s. This has been the most fruitful creative relationship I have known.
Laurie seems to me to have found her creative voice in a previous life and brought into this one fully formed… Her ease of listing, while speaking musical concepts has always excited, inspired and pushed me. She is profoundly elegant with a guitar in her hands and wickedly creative and willing on bass as well. Our trust has endured because we have found a way to work together where we can ‘compositionialize’ in our own, native ways, building on singular musical moments. There is little more satisfying than facilitating her work...
Laurie doesn't sit around on the couch with all of her guitars like this—- I made her pull them all out… I believe a couple are missing here including her immaculate Fender Precision bass
“…A sign of what I think of as a great guitar player is not so much in their technical ability, but in hearing their uniqueness to the point that you see there face when you hear their sound… Laurie has the style of styles… Her organic approach is instantly recognizable with it’s beautiful dissonance and ballsy rock… it is at once ethereal, melodic and percussive” -Scott Guion (artist/musician and legendary New Orleans guitar shredder)
