Lara Price
A Little Goes a Long Way…
Lara Price was born in the war-torn country of Vietnam in 1975. Abandoned at birth, Lara became a part of the controversial Operation Baby Lift, the mass evacuation of orphans from South Vietnam to the United States. Her journey out of Vietnam to her new home was nothing short of a miracle, as 90 percent of the orphaned babies did not survive. Lara Price is a survivor. Lara arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1997 to pursue her dream of singing in a band. The journey of Lara’s career includes tours across the United States, and China, a dozen bands, 1 DVD, and 7 CDs that Lara Price has produced, co-written, and on which she has played multiple instruments. Her 6th studio CD, “I Mean Business,” is exactly that! “I Mean Business” was picked up by Vizztone Label Group and has earned Lara Price a Best Soul/Blues Female Artist nomination for 2017 by the Blues Foundation. Lara’s journey continues in Austin, Texas, where she released her 7th record, “Makin’ Lemonade Lara Price LIVE from ATX” in 2021, and is working on her 8th studio release.
