Lauren Gottshall

Lauren Gottshall’s powerful vocals, storyteller’s heart, and magnetic stage presence have quickly made her one of Music City’s most exciting new voices.

​In the past year since moving to Nashville, Lauren has opened for country superstar Jason Aldean, performed her first stadium show and played at some of Nashville's most iconic venues such as The Listening Room, 3rd and Lindsley and The Bluebird Cafe. She has also shared the bill with major acts like O.A.R., Warren Zeiders, Chris Janson, and The Samples.​

Blending country roots with a modern edge, Lauren’s sound captures the heart of everyday life—love, resilience, and chasing big dreams.
