“My music is the way my feelings sound and my lyrics are the words of my soul”
Laura has been singing since she could speak. She began piano lessons at age six and learned to play several instruments through her elementary and high school years. Laura participated in community theatre when she was 12 landing her first speaking and singing part in Annie Get Your Gun. Laura was cast in numerous school and church theatre and music productions throughout her youth, which carried over into adulthood when she formed her first band Cherry Rain. Cherry Rain would go on to be incredibly successful with Laura’s powerful vocals and incredible musicians. In 2006, Laura’s song ‘TRUCKS R4 GIRLS’ climbed the Indie charts to number #17 catching the attention of Nashville-based Record Label Lamon Records. Laura and Lamon dropped her first original album Trucks R4 Girls in 2007 and the band headed out on tour with Lonnie Bulger playing drums, Eric Morris on keys and vocals, Micah Eubanks on bass and vocals, numerous lead guitar players, and Monty Rogers on rhythm guitar and managing the tour. After more than 50 tour dates, Laura retired from professional music. However, in 2017, Laura Pettler and Alexis Pettler wrote ‘SHOTGUN SLAYER’ the title track of Laura’s WebTV show ‘NOTORIOUS: TRUE CRIME STORIES WITH LAURA PETTLER.’
