Celebrated songwriter, gifted vocalist, and performer
extraordinaire LP has posted the second video in her live solo
performance series called "The Ukulele Sessions," which
feature the L.A.-based artist covering her favorite songs on ukulele and are
filmed at various locations in a completely raw setting. The second video is a
performance of "The Widow" by TheMars Volta from their second album, Frances The
Mute. Click here to view the clip. "The
Widow" will premiere on www.hellogiggles.com today. Click here to

This haunting performance was filmed in a bat cave in Los
Angeles's Griffith Park by director Claire Marie Vogel (Tegan and Sara,
The Belle Brigade, etc.). Vogel has also directed several other live
performance pieces for LP, including her Ukulele
Sessions #1. The next in the ongoing series will be released in
the near future.
Fans will recall the first installment of "The
Ukulele Sessions" was a cover of "Where Did You
Sleep Last Night," also known as "In The
Pines," a track by American folk blues pioneer Leadbelly. Click here to

Having released her debut EP for Warner Bros Records, a CD +
DVD package titled Into The Wild: Live At EastWest Studios, in
April LP has been attracting fervent attention for her
emotionally riveting live performances. She recently appeared at Lollapalooza
in Chicago and Summer Sonic in Japan where she drew rave reviews and won the
hearts of all who attended:
"LP killed 'em at Bonnaroo. They may have come for the
song from the Citi commercial, but they left humming a fresh batch of
well-crafted, instantly memorable tunes. Her spot on every ten-to watch-from
2012 list is well-deserved." -- Esquire.Com (Must See List
Lollapalooza 2012)
"Those big notes gave her away. After that line,
the murmurs start. LP, the singer crowds have heard but never heard of...
she has the instruments and the stage to express it. It's not an anonymous life
now."
- CNN.Com
LP will perform at the Austin CityLimits Festival with her Warner Bros. Records label mates Neil Young
& Crazy Horse and Gary Clark Jr. on Oct 12th. ACL 2012 is
already sold out.
While LP's debut full-length album for Warner
Bros. Records is nearing completion, herInto The Wild: Live At EastWest
Studios CD + DVD package continues to garner critical
praise. The title track is still going strong at radio:
"With her penetrating voice and Dylan-goes electric
swagger, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter LP may be on the verge of serious
mainstream success." - Vogue
"Knocking on stardom's door. She has her own kind of
charisma that can deliver a wide audience." - Wall Street Journal
