Almost 15 years ago I moved to London and began the process of making my first solo album, Wasted In Jackson with my friend and collaborator, the incomparable Eg White. That album was released under my given name, Lauren Pritchard. This picture was taken in 2009 by photographer Steven Fitzmaurice right when we began recording. I had already spent 3 years on Broadway in Spring Awakening. I look at this picture and think about how this young woman hardly knew the life of songwriting and creativity ahead of her. I have a dream of reimagining Wasted In Jackson and releasing it on the 15 Anniversary. I’ll keep you all posted on the progress of this musical dream. 🪄💭
Good afternoon my friends, I have shared this news on my other social pages but now I want to share it here. Since February I have been battling with heart problems and the physical and mental toll it has taken on me has only gotten worse the more I’ve continued to try and work through it like nothing was wrong. In order to take better care myself I have made the tough decision to step away from touring and full band performances indefinitely. Last Friday marked my final full band show and it was an emotional and beautiful experience. The crowd at Jackson’s AMP at the Market was absolutely incredible both in size and energy, one of best I’ve ever had the opportunity to perform for! We filmed the show and I’m excited to share some of those songs with you soon, thank you @b3creativeagency for helping me capture such a special night. I love what I do with all of my heart. I love it so much that I just want to do everything all at once!! But that isn’t sustainable. Listening to what my body is telling me along with my doctors advice means life changes but I know in the end it will all be worth it. I will still be songwriting and composing. I will also continue working as head of A&R at my record label, No Reverse Records and will make appearances here and there if it is healthy for me to do so. But most importantly I will be able to have more time and energy to continue raising my sweet little boy, Xander. I know this season of life will be filled with many new things. I look forward to being healthy again so I can be back on stage in a full capacity but until then I thank God for the gifts He has given me and I pray for His guidance and grace in this new life chapter. With love, LOLO PS. Thanks Allison Insurance Group and West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation for sponsoring Friday’s show! And a huge thanks to my incredible band for being with me every step of the way: Jeremy Tubbs, Mary Katherine Busuito, Joshua Weaver, Byron “Chops” Chaney, Joseph Kyle, Evan Cox, James Reed & Dwight Sanders. 📸: by @hannahmgorephoto
I’m alive! But I’m still really bad at texting. BUT I AM improving in both health and communication. And I’m releasing a new song later this month. Don’t worry, the cigar & whiskey were for dramatic effect, I can’t handle either since I gave birth😂… More soon. 😘
One of my very best friends passed away last Sunday. I’m not really sure that it has completely sunk in. He had been very sick for a while but we just thought that he would be able to overcome it all. Even though he was sick his death was still sudden and heartbreaking. His daughter Lincoln, sister Lauren, mother Sarah, all of his close family and friends… everyone is left with a giant, Larry sized hole in our hearts. Here are some pictures from better days, before he got sick. We love you @larrytriplettjr, you are in our hearts and minds even though you aren’t here with us in physical form anymore. Your body is no longer in pain and that is the only thing giving us peace. We miss you all the time. 💔

I very rarely use my music page for overtly political purposes but the Mayoral election in my hometown has continued to amaze me at how low someone is willing to go to spread hate and misinformation. And sure, it’s an obvious choice to attack your opponent aka our current Mayor but now they have decided to go one step further and take a shot at one of the most positive, inspirational, talented, considerate, honest, caring and trustworthy leaders in our community. @darrenlykes is one of the hardest working individuals I’ve ever had the chance to work with and grow close to. He is a leader in everything he does and he does everything from a platform of compassion and understanding. To attack him shows us everything we need to know about who you really are. If you think that quoting a bunch of bibles verses is making an effective statement just because you’re up in arms over a drag show that 1. Hurt NOBODY, especially not children and 2. You were never going to attend in the first place – your message isn’t working. My last thought, as a response to the hate and lies that are being spread is this: “To the people who lament that America is drifting farther and farther from God: When exactly were we the most “in tune” with God? During segregation? During Jim Crow? When women couldn’t vote? When slavery was legal? When, exactly?” When you can answer that question then I also ask that you rise up out of your comfort and use your God given freedom to vote for a Jackson that is not hate-filled, segregated or hurting and marginalizing any individuals or people in our community. ❤️🗣️ #wethepeoplemeanseveryone

This is moment I cracked my tooth. Literally. 😳 Pls send me that good dental energy!! 💫 PS. Rock Candy is not for those over the age of 35! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #toddlermomproblems
You’ve heard me discuss my thoughts on the “checklist life” I completely followed growing up. Well, my guest @lolomusic agrees. Even starring on Broadway at 18 made her question, “is this what I want to be doing?” Take the time to explore and try things. Ep out now wherever you listen!
