About

Hey y’all. My name is Lauren, but you can call me Naurnie. I’m sure you are wondering why… it’s what I called myself when I was learning to talk and it is a nickname that has stuck for my entire life. I live in Durham, North Carolina in a yellow house with my sweet husband, William, and our dog, Truman. I’m not really from North Carolina, though. I’m from Nashville, Tennessee by way of Louisiana. Willie and I are expecting our first child in September of this year.

I love really good country music (which usually means it’s old) and my brain is an encyclopedia of useless music trivia. My first love was Bob Dylan; playing his songs was the reason for me learning to play the guitar. On occasion, I have been known to attempt to play the harmonica WHILE playing the guitar. You can just call me a one-woman band. I might have made a Woody Guthrie mix tape for my AP high school English project about the Grapes of Wrath. I am afraid of birds, I love vinyl records, and my goal is to have hair that looks like Stevie Nicks circa Rumours. I plan to own a custom Manuel suit before I die. I can bring down the house while singing Coal Miner’s Daughter at a karaoke bar.
