Produced by the incredible Vaughn Lofstead at Nashville’s Smokehouse Studios, Not What I Do is twelve tracks of pure heart, soul, and grit. Laura’s voice is a breath of fresh air — raw, expressive, and dripping with authenticity. It’s the kind of voice that doesn’t just sing to you; it reaches right into your chest and moves you.
From the first strum of “You Just Being You,” you can tell you’re in for something special. Laura celebrates individuality with an infectious joy that will have crowds singing along at the top of their lungs. The energy stays high with tracks like “Biscuits and Gravy” — a clever, foot-tapping anthem that’s all about savoring life’s simple pleasures — and it just keeps getting better from there.
“Take My Hand” is already making waves thanks to its stunning music video, which showcases Laura’s gift for visual storytelling. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever needed a moment of real connection in a noisy, disconnected world. And don’t sleep on “College Days”—a nostalgic powerhouse that hits all the right emotional notes and reminds us why we fell in love with songwriting that says something real.
Laura isn’t just another talented singer-songwriter; she’s the full package. A graduate in music composition, a veteran of countless live performances, and an advocate for mental health and LGBTQ rights, she brings a lifetime of experience and passion to every lyric she writes and every note she sings. Her performances at legendary venues like The Bluebird Café and events like Lilith Fair are just the beginning.
Tracks like “Home” and “Rhinestones for Pearls” reveal the deeper layers of her artistry — combining poetic lyrics, soulful melodies, and raw emotional honesty that connects with audiences on a gut level. Not What I Do isn’t just an album; it’s a heartfelt journey through love, loss, growth, and finding your place in the world.
Every song is an opportunity for listeners to see themselves reflected back with compassion and hope — and that’s the magic that’s going to take Laura Sawosko from best-kept secret to national treasure.
If you’re a fan of Brandi Carlile, Kacey Musgraves, Lori McKenna, or Mary Chapin Carpenter — Laura is YOUR next obsession. Her ability to blend timeless Americana storytelling with modern production values makes Not What I Do not just relevant, but essential for 2025 and beyond.
