Laura Tate is a singer with a heart as big as Texas and a passion for singing that goes back to her childhood in Dallas. Her musical talent took her to Nashville and New York City, before she settled in Los Angeles and added acting on television to her music career. Her repertoire ranges from jazz and blues to rock and country. With the toughness of a torch singer and the tenderness of a lover, Laura sings new life into American standards and popular music while also introducing songs written for her.

Laura and her band released her sixth CD in eight years on September 16, 2022, "Smokey Tango," a bluesy collection with a double shot of fine New Orleans jazz. "Laura Tate: Live from El Paso," her best-hits collection, stayed at number 1 on the Roots Music Report's Jazzy Blues List for 25 weeks. And "Smokey Tango" is striving to beat that, currently #1 for 4 weeks in a row. Each of her albums showcase the many moods of Laura Tate and the talented musicians who make performing fun on stage and in the recording studio.

    When I was about 10, my father packed up the family in our old Dodge and drove from Dallas to New Orleans. He wanted us to go hear the music of Pete Fountain who he said was, "the greatest New Orleans jazz and blues clarinetists." To this day I remember that trip and the profound impact it had on me listening to the music of New Orleans. The gifted producer and musician Terry Wilson suggested we do a Jazz Blues record with a New Orleans flair and I jumped at the chance!!
