Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season. May it be filled with friends and family.

I'm looking forward to an exciting project in the New Year. Stay tuned for more details in 2012.  And please join the mailing list, or reach out on facebook, and/or twitter, to stay informed and in touch. 

All the best!

I have returned from my first German tour and am so, very grateful for the experience. I made some new friends, performed for lovely audiences, and drove my little rented
Volkswagen all around north Germany. 

I owe a big, big thanks to Ms. Bergitta Victor for booking the dates.  I also need to thank the fine folks who opened their venues to me and to my music: Constanze Mikeska,
Ela Schmidt, Mike Weil, Thomas Ritter, and Jacqueline Brasicke. 

This was an experience that I'll never forget.

I've posted a few photos from the tour on my Facebook page for all to see.

I am now looking forward to a New York show next month.  On Sunday, May 15th,  I open for the fantastic Jose James at Brooklyn's Weeksville Heritage Center.  This will be my first time performing in New York in several years.  Can't wait!

This month I will take a break from studies to head to Germany for five solo dates.  This will be my first solo tour outside of the U.S.  Can’t wait!  Many thanks to Bergitta Victor for handling booking.  You can find a complete list of dates and locations on the schedule page.  See you abroad!

I am thrilled to have been accepted to the LA Music Academy's vocal program.  I will be spending the next year studying vocal technique and music theory to sharpen my skills. 

I plan to book shows again in the New Year.  So please stay tuned.  You can keep in touch by signing up to the mailing list, and/or joining me on facebook. 

In the meantime, I'm wishing you all a great Holiday Season.

Hello everyone!  I have just posted a new video for "One Man's Stone" featuring footage from last year's coffeehouse tour.  If you stick around until the end, you'll get a sneak peak of the cover art for the upcoming CD.  You can check it out here.

I am thrilled to be back in the studio working on my first full-length CD. Stay tuned for updates and an official 2010 release date. In the meantime, you can click here to see a live, solo performance of "Same World" – one of the songs to be featured on the new CD. 

Bitter Suite has received national attention this fall with amazing reviews from both Urban Network and American Songwriter Magazine. 

Scott Galloway of Urban Network writes:

This striking acoustic debut EP from singer/songwriter LaCour arrived out of the blue one afternoon and rendered me spellbound.

And American Songwriter's Paul Zollo gives Bitter Suite a four-star review:

Her husky, soulful vocals, as full-bodied as a fine wine, ache with a heartbreak fusion of fortitude and vulnerability, bringing to mind other great singers to whose league she belongs... LaCour's songs are mostly mid-tempo ballads of deep soul and jazzy melodic sweetness wed to poetic lyrics of sorrow and triumph, such as the great opener "Bittersweet," and especially "One Man's Stone," which resounds like a timeless spiritual.  Great soul standard.
