LKN is one woman, Lauren Kathryn Newman. In the studio, Lauren writes all of the music and plays all of the instruments. LKN live is Lauren and a host of guests on instruments, usually in the form of a power trio.
Lauren began drumming in punk bands in her hometown of Pensacola, Florida at the age of 15. She began writing songs at 18 and started 4-tracking (on all instruments) 3-5 songs a day for 5 years. When she first began writing music, Lauren said she wanted to write what she wanted to hear but what no one else was doing. The first incarnation of this was StellaMarie, which began as 4-track recordings and became a touring band that lasted four years. She then changed the name to her initials, LKN in 2002.
In addition to her solo work, Lauren continues to play drums in other bands including Palo Verde (formerely Stickitin) and Les Tresvinos - both of Portland, Oregon - and she drummed for Bellini in the Northwest on their Fall 2005 tour. When in Florida, she drums for GGJOE and Lauren occasionally drums in a free jazz spazz project with Ryne Warner (Ohioan, Ghost To Falco) and sax god, Ben Hartman (Old Time Relijun). Lauren is a restless, tireless, driven, passionate performer and musician. And as one woman, she manages to accomplish a sound more full and complete than most bands could ever hope to achieve.
