Lauren Leigh Martin, San Diego Songbird

Join San Diego native Lauren Leigh Martin, as she talks about her singing career and upcoming second album. She talks about her musical influences: her aunt, Eve Selis; her dad, Claudio Martin; her album co-producer, Jeff Berkeley; and her musical partner, Sam Hunt. The past few years have been a challenge, with breakups, the pandemic, motherhood, and mental health, but Lauren has channeled that into her work and pushed herself to expand musically. Lauren discusses the life of a professional musician, including starting with a fall-back plan, financial considerations, touring, and drugs and alcohol. She also reveals the behind-the-scenes story of her singing Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky on tour, opening for Foreigner. A great San Diego episode with Bill Aho.
