folklaur

Emerging in 2025 from Philadelphia, United States, folklaur blends indie rock, pop, indie pop and singer songwriter into a genre-defying sound.

Hi – I’m Laura Feigin – a singer, songwriter and storyteller based in Philadelphia. I make music under the name folklaur, but everything I write comes from the same place: a love of stories and the moments that make us feel the most human.
I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember, but I did not start writing songs until the pandemic, when I finally had the time and space to learn guitar. As I got more confident with it, melodies started showing up alongside the words – and for the first time. I could hear the songs I’d always been trying to write!
My music blends indie, pop, folk, and singer-songwriter styles- and if you like Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, Maggie Rogers or Gracie Abrams you might find something you connect with here too! I’m drawn to lyrics that feel honest, even (or especially) when they’re messy. Most of my songs live in the in-between places- the pause between what you said and what you meant, the ache of being known too well or not at all, the slow shift of who you are when no one is watching!
