January 22, 2015\nIn December of 2010, she unveiled a completely new side to her music. At the time I wrote:\nLaura Ivancie has a confession to make. She's not apologizing for all those sets she did with her acoustic guitar or for being mostly known as a singer/songwriter. She still does them. But her confession is that deep-down she's an Electronic music diva.\nA little background provided by OMN's Ana Ammann in a preview she wrote on Lilith Fair 2010.\nWith a famous Portland last name, Laura Ivancie, whose grandfather served as Portland\u2019s Mayor in the 1980s, is setting out to make a name for herself. Music has been in her blood for as long as she can remember, yet she is a relative newcomer to the Portland music scene. After a successful college basketball career, Ivancie spent 14 months backpacking across South America with nothing but her guitar in 2005. When she returned, she became a firefighter for the US Forestry Service and in 2008, after much pleading from her friends, finally took to the stage to share her musical gift with the world. Her music is a mix of many genres, including elements of folk, rock, country and soul, and her song \u201cLittle Girl\u201d is a hit with voters in the Lilith Competition, keeping her in the Top 5 most of the time.\nThat was then. She has teamed up with producer Keith Schreiner who has had a knack with female vocalists: there was Jen Folker with Dahlia, Orianna Herman of Oracle, Stephanie Schneiderman...and now Laura Ivancie. Does it change her sound? About as much as it changed Schneiderman's, and that's a lot.
