Lauren Gillogly Slater was born and raised in Springfield, MO where she currently resides with two sons, two dogs, two cats, and two twelve six ducks.

Music has been a constant throughout her life, from singing songs at Sunday school and stubbornly learning to read piano music from her wildly patient mother to playing bass for her first band just out of high school and touring western Europe as a member of the world-renowned Missouri State Concert Chorale.

Over the past twenty years, Lauren has played a variety of instruments in a handful of Springfield bands including Bender, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, The Outlaw Sea, The Preservation Society, and The Mixtapes.

She writes, records, and plays solo but loves gathering with Jess Heugel (The Preservation Society) on bass, Philip Bowles on keys, and Chris McGuire on drums to groove some tunes.
