Laura Veirs

Portland, OR-based singer-songwriter Laura Veirs has forged a career singing personal songs of romantic intoxication, everyday vignettes, and social commentary that are often heavy on introspection and intense character scrutiny. She is fascinated with the intersection of poetry and science and explores this in her lyrics. In a backyard studio she calls the “Temple of Bloom,” Laura Veirs made a record without a safety net. No click. No headphones. No edits. Temple Songs is her first fully self-recorded and self-produced album—a collection of performances captured live, where feeling takes precedence over polish. The songs unfold with a raw, luminous quality, tracing arcs of devotion, independence, and creative renewal. Out August 14, 2026.
