more pop, but there are country
musical elements and the stories
told are my stories from grow-
ing up in New Jersey and New
York versus dirt roads and pickup
trucks. Everything in my songs
are things that I’ve experienced
and relate to. They are my stories
and that’s where we got the urban
country from.”
Davidson has released a pair of
singles and two EPs in the past
few years. Her father, who had
his own music career, co-wrote all
four songs on her first EP and all
but one from her debut. When he
was around 18, he used to play at
popular clubs like The Bitter End.
Lauren says she loves writing with
him and his own background as a
musician is part of it.
“He played all of the clubs in
New York. He opened for come-
dians like Jerry Seinfeld and Paul
Reiser, but he never took it further
than that,” said Davidson. “He had
kids and a family instead. I think
that’s why he’s so supportive of
me chasing my dreams because
he gets it.”
