Lara Landon is a singer/songwriter, worship leader and author based out of Nashville TN.
Whether she’s meticulously crafting lyrics or ministering to the physically and spiritually needy, authenticity reigns supreme with
Landon. Her main goal is to be an intermediary. “I’ve learned over the
past few years that my job, and success to me, is connecting people with
God and connecting God with people—whether that be through hands-on
service, or a simple melody that I’m playing on the piano,” she says.
“I’m a connector, and if I’m doing my part correctly, I will disappear
and leave people face-to-face with their own heart and the heart of
God.”
Between her voice and her piano, she perfectly
executes the music that she hopes will reach deep into her audience's
souls. Pulling from the dark and pushing into the light, arms
outstretched in both directions, Lara establishes that balance again the
juxtaposition that makes her music feel moody and hopeful, joyful and
broken, all at once. And it is a beautiful, perfect tension.

honesty." -ITunes
