# Event Details - **Event Name**: Starved Rock Songwriters Series - Laura Bryna - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Laura Bryna is a Nashville-based country rock artist who lives for human connection, bold songs, and leaving people better than she found them. Equal parts firecracker and truth-teller; she brings a fearless mix of country, rock, pop, and blues to music that swings between high-voltage energy and stripped-down honesty, always with heart, humor, and zero interest in playing it safe. Laura has built momentum with a string of standout releases and career milestones, including with her single “RISE,” a powerful anthem about resilience and mental health awareness, generating millions of views and streams, sparking thousands of fan-created videos, and driving an outpouring of messages from listeners who found strength in its message — including fans navigating illness, loss, and personal hardship. The song’s impact has led to a partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), reinforcing Laura’s commitment to using music as a source of hope and support. Beyond the music, Laura remains deeply committed to giving back and standing up for the underdog. She has long supported military communities, earning the nickname “Lil’ Thunder” among service members, and she proudly champions causes centered on mental health, inclusion, and empowerment. Her fanbase, affectionately known as The Bryniacs, reflects that spirit, welcoming people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. At her core, Laura Bryna is an artist who believes in showing up fully, taking risks, and enjoying the ride. Whether she’s commanding a festival stage, playing an intimate room with nothing but a guitar, or connecting one-on-one with fans through a song that meets them exactly where they are, Laura continues to prove that authenticity, heart, and a little bit of glitter go a long, long way. The Starved Rock Songwriters Series provides a unique opportunity for guests to experience the stories behind the songs while enjoying the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Veranda at Starved Rock Lodge. Admission is free and open to the public. Stay tuned for additional performance dates and artist announcements as the Starved Rock Songwriters Series continues throughout the summer.
