Nashville-born, New York-based artist Lauren Minear shares her transformative new album, Boxing Day, featuring the fragile, urgent lead single, “Bruise.” With raw confessional lyrics and immersive soundscapes that blend alternative, pop, rock, and folk, Boxing Day is Minear’s most ambitious work to date.
Lauren has one of those stories that stops you in your tracks. She spent years working as a psychotherapist — then came the pandemic, a newborn, a toddler, and lockdown. Instead of falling apart, she picked up where she left off with her first love: songwriting.
What happened next is kind of remarkable. She wrote and released three albums before she ever toured. That means when you see her live, you’re not just getting a concert — you’re getting the whole story, told in full, for the very first time.
Her songs pull from that rare combination of a therapist’s emotional depth and a mother’s raw honesty. They’re about love that changes you, feeling lost, finding yourself again. The kind of music that makes you feel a little less alone.
Following a successful spring run culminating in her sold out show at The Kelly Center in Havertown, Pennsylvania, Minear brings her Everything & Nothing Acoustic Tour to Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia this fall.
