Laura Lee Shaver | Songwriter & Lyricist

Laura Lee Shaver is a Nashville-focused songwriter specializing in Contemporary Country, Country Rock, and cinematic Americana with a distinct Western lean. Her writing is defined by a deliberate balance between high-concept, radio-ready hooks and authentic, character-driven storytelling.

Shaver's catalog showcases a wide commercial and atmospheric range: from the fierce, metaphorical defiance of “Barn Sour” to the gritty, conversational honesty of “Life’s a Bitch (The Hard Truth).” Whether crafting rowdy, bar-ready anthems like “Don’t Short Head My Pour” or exploring the dusty, evocative landscapes of Western-leaning Americana, the focus remains on the "turn", the moment a song connects emotionally and stays with the listener.

A Note on Production & Demos:
As a specialist in topline craft and lyrical structure, I utilize high-level AI rendering for initial demos to effectively communicate melody, meter, and "radio-vibe." Stripped-down human worktapes (vocal/guitar) and clean stems are available upon request for all titles. I believe in the power of the "Song" first, and while these demos provide the blueprint, I am always seeking to collaborate with track-focused producers and session artists to bring the final, human soul to these compositions.

Currently open to publishing deals, sync opportunities, and co-writes.
