Laura Wyatt

Music

Based on the Essex coast, singer-songwriter Laura Wyatt brings a folksy, wandering spirit vibe to the UK folk and country scene. Her poetic acoustic songwriting carries both profound warmth and striking honesty, with songs that explore love, loss and a search for deeper meaning. The tapestry of her musical influences is woven throughout her latest album Hopeless Romantic - from the First-Aid Kit inspired "Just Pretend" to the Fleetwood Mac stylings of "Leaving This Town".​

Laura's return to the original music scene after a long hiatus ​has been met with glowing industry acclaim. Mike Kirrage, Director of the Gate to Southwell Festival, hailed her as "one of the discoveries of the festival... a fine musician with a great voice [and] a very talented songwriter with an assured stage presence." Former tour-mate Matt Cardle echoed the sentiment, calling her "without a doubt one of the best singer-songwriters this country has seen for a long, long time... treading the line between heart and head with an ease and honesty which is undeniable."

​

This high praise builds on a rich musical history. Over her career, Laura has supported Matt Cardle, performed with Sam Ryder, and shared festival lineups with heavyweights including Florence and the Machine, Paloma Faith, The Noisettes, and The Proclaimers at events like Standon Calling and the Florida Music Festival.

​

In an era dominated by digital noise, Laura consciously chooses a different road. By bypassing social media and streaming services, she is pursuing a more organic career path rooted in genuine human connection. Following a successful run of 2026 performances at Gate to Southwell, Rooted Festival, and Wellness in the Wild, Laura is looking forward to the future. She is currently booking appearances at folk and country festivals for next year, alongside a curated tour of intimate, candlelit spaces to celebrate her upcoming album "Moving Through Something".
