Lauren Reiner is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bringing nostalgia back to pop. With lyrics steeped in honesty, her songs have the grit of a confession and the ring of hard-won truth.

Born in New York, Reiner began making music at an early age and grew up immersed in varied influences, from classic rock to contemporary jazz. A two-time finalist for the John Lennon Songwriting Awards, writing from her life was always at the center of her work. With a career that moved seamlessly between genres, Reiner released a jazz EP of four originals in 2018, “What I’ve Been Dreaming Of,” only to follow it with the country-folk project “Little Rain” in 2019.

After a lifetime of music, in 2021 a series of surgeries and an escalating epilepsy diagnosis ground her career to a halt.

Surgery and medication made listening to music impossible. Reiner couldn’t perform, play, or write for over a year. This loss was the first time Reiner fully ceased music-making since she began to play.

But in 2023, after extensive brain surgery, Reiner began to work again. Revisiting tracks written from before her illness and uniting them with new songs born out of her recovery, Reiner began to craft a project that pried art out of pain and transformed trauma into something healing and compulsively listenable.

This work culminates in her upcoming full length album “All I Ever Do is Remember.” With moments that range from righteous anger to tender melancholy, Reiner’s work renders her own journey universal with takes on love, longing, and seeing all the versions of ourselves.
