Lauren Weintraub

An evocative, musical storyteller with songwriting craft well beyond her age, Lauren Weintraub left her hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, to answer the calling of Nashville's music community and attend the Curb College of Entertainment at Belmont University in 2017. The recognition of her songwriting and artistry quickly spilled out from the campus and through Nashville’s famed Music Row, where she began to receive critical recognition from all corners.

In 2018, Weintraub won first place in The Recording Academy’s Grammy U songwriting contest for her solo written song, “Careful Now.” Earlier this year, her performance of her song “If You Were Gonna Leave Anyway” was featured as part of NPR’s Tiny Desk contest series and given their “Top Shelf” designation representing the best songs heard this year by NPR’s panel of judges, which included Grammy® winner, Jason Isbell. Nashville Songwriters Association International also named Weintraub "One To Watch" and she separately received honorable mention in their Song Contest co-sponsored by CMT.

Weintraub officially began her professional songwriting career in June of 2019, as she became the first signee to a joint venture between hit songwriter, Grammy® nominee, Warner Brothers Recording Artist, Brandy Clark, and Big Machine Music, the heralded, music publishing company which has been named to Billboard Top 10 Hot 100 and Country Music Publishing Corp for both 2017 and 2018.

As a performer, Weintraub has been on stage since the age of four, and has graced venues across the United States from The Bitter End to The Cutting Room and Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café to Gillette Stadium.
