If you somehow missed 'Can't Wait to See You Again' in your busy life, go to her web site and listen and then get it. She is one of Colorado's best and this CD is not to be missed." – Chris Daniels, musician “Dameron's playing is a nice blend of old school Jazz Guitar, Rock n' Roll double stops and swing blues. Her Guitar tone is crisp and smooth, giving her just enough bite for when she does her Bluesy Jazz thang…” --Lyle Robinson, Jazz Guitar Life Magazine “I Can't Wait to See You Again. Mellow out with the third album from this talented Boulder-based jazz singer and guitarist, who celebrates the disc's release with a concert Wednesday at Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge in Denver. Whether playing originals, classic blues tunes, jazz standards or Brazilian favorites, Dameron keeps things tasty and understated. She's got talent to spare but resists the urge to show off. -- Greg Glasgow, Boulder Daily Camera “Based in Colorado, Dameron has an echoey acoustic sound on her guitar that is slightly reminiscent of Pat Metheny at times. Her music is soothing, danceable (but with subtle rhythms) and pleasing.” --Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene “Guitarist/Vocalist Laurie Dameron's latest CD, I Can't Wait to See You Again, is a musical journey through the Great American Songbook. Backed by some of Colorado's top notch musicians, Laurie makes the trip down memory lane worth revisiting time and time again.” --Susan Gatschet Reese, Assistant Program Director jazz89 KUVO “Utah Dream is "a CD consisting of classic folk, jazz and blues underlined by the lilt of a voice so distinct that only one word could describe it: beautiful." -- Laurence Washington, Boulder Daily Camera music critic "Celestial vocals layered over sophisticated guitar riffs are hallmarks of Laurie Dameron's compositions. They encompass a variety of musical styles from moody acoustic pieces to rock, jazz and blues influences." – -- Freelance writer Marilyn Gleason "Delicate voice and confident guitar mark her work..." -- David Thomas, Denver Post
