Paste Magazine recommends Laura Gibson at Jovita’s in Austin

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Paste is hip to Laura Gibson, who performs at the Twangfest / KDHX Day Party at Jovita’s on Thursday 3/19: “2:30 p.m. – Laura Gibson (Jovita’s) – Laura Gibson truly lives up toher new label; ‘Hush’ perfectly describes her sound. On her latest album, Beast of Seasons, the Portland singer-songwriter croons in a voice so quiet, it’s almost a whisper. But if you cock your head, cup your ear, and listen in, you’ll find her ballads well worth blocking out the rest of the noisy world.”
