Today’s song is “I Love Your Mr Grinch” by Laura Warshauer. Hailing from exit 109 in New Jersey, she was recently awarded the prestigious “Holly Prize”- an award named after Buddy Holly and presented to only one singer-songwriter per year. This year, after a string of high-profile shows (including a headlining set at the Official MPressFest CMJ Showcase, tour dates with Bob Schneider, Frankie Moreno, and Scars on 45, and an appearance at WXPN World Café), two national television appearances (including an interview and performance of “To Will And Kate, Meet Me At Exit 109” on the E! True Hollywood Story: Kate and Pippa Middleton”), a twelve-week chart run on MediaBase with “Wishing Well,” and an album release that garnered national praise and features in outlets such as People Magazine, Paris Match, and London Daily Mail, Laura’s career has “blossomed beyond [her] wildest dreams.” But Laura’s success comes as no surprise, as this folky-pop Jersey-girl’s sound ranges from Stevie Nicks to Cyndi Lauper, and from Kate Bush to Imogen Heap.
