Oden performs at the Alaska State Fair on the Bluebonnet Stage. Alternative Folk. A teaspoon of Joni Mitchell, a teaspoon of Alanis Morrisette. Laura Oden is an Anchorage-based Singer-Songwriter. She has just released her 2nd CD titled - Peel Back Another Layer.
From Alaska Dispatch Oden's songs "ruminate on family loyalties, love, the meaning of life and whether or not the TSA actually makes travel any safer, all steeped in an ambiance of introspection."
From the Anchorage Press: "When she shines, she truly shines. Her voice is crystal clear and warm. Often you get so swept up in the music that you don’t really pay attention to the lyrics and, while it could be detrimental, it just makes the moments Oden carries her lyrics over the music all the more special."
