Bio: Laura Warren Barge has been a professional musician for over 30 years. After learning the classics at Springfield College of Illinois, she traveled to Boston, MA to finish her degree at Berklee College of Music in the late 1980’s. While attending Berklee she fell in love with the more contemporary forms of music. Contemporary Country/Pop/Folk, Jazz Standards and Rhythm & Blues are her favorites, but she loves most forms of modern Americana music. After touring with various bands around the country like ‘Black and Blue’, ‘Cruzin’, ‘Legacy’, ‘After Hours’ and ‘X-Factor’ for over a decade, she now resides in North KC where she performs for different venues, privately teaches, and is the administrator for Corbin Theatre Company in Liberty, MO.
