Details:
Laura''s singing career started at the young age of six as she sang for her church choir in the small town of Susquehanna, PA. By fifteen she was playing guitar and writing her own music dreaming of bigger and better places. At sixteen Laura was in Nashville being asked to sing center-stage at the legendary Ryman Auditorium and by eighteen she embarked on a tour of the U.S. learning the ropes of the business. She returned home to record her first album at the age of nineteen and toured the east coast sharing stages with many greats including the renowned blues player Louisiana Red. With all that under her belt, Laura set out to make a new record with producer Scott Fletcher. Fletcher, known for his work with gospel singer Donnie Sumner(Elvis Prestley’s band) and his brief stint with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, was the versatile player and producer Laura was looking for. The two collaborated on Ackley''s new release "All Roads Lead Home." Ackley and Fletcher included instruments like banjo, mandolin, accordion, dobro, and upright bass and didn''t add the glitz or glamour to the record that one might hear from country to pop cross-overs. Laura kept the sessions intimate and real, wanting to leave the big productions out and let the songs do the talking. With that goal in mind the album''s sound is undoubtedly folk but also has all the makings for a traditional country record, thus fitting best into the Americana genre. The songs themselves reflect Laura''s childhood and growing up in the mountains of PA, with cuts like Summertime, Country Girl, and House on Broad Ave. But no great album would be complete without a few love songs and broken hearts. Laura''s include Winter Love, Off My Mind, and Drive. As the final tracks were added to "All Roads Lead Home" Laura signed to Freedom Records and the album was released in August of 2004. Currently Laura is promoting her new record in the Northeast.
