Laura St. Jude (born April 2, 1992) is a singer, songwriter and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. Laura is a romantic realist armed with her telecaster. She dredges the depths of melancholy without succumbing to the banalities of self-pity, showing the listener that hope is always present in the midst of darkness. Laura had toured extensively with rock n roll band The Amazing Snakeheads, providing guest vocals, guitar and percussion, both in the UK and in Europe; the highlight of which was support shows with Jack White in Paris and London. She also co-wrote The Amazing Snakeheads B-side, 'The Bullfighter' with frontman and partner Dale Barclay, which was released on Domino Records in 2014. In 2012, Laura self-released her debut EP ‘Fatal’ with her first lineup of musicians, of which drummer/backing vocalist Jennifer Hamilton remains in her group to this day. In 2015, Laura released a 7” Double A-side on Off Label Records, recorded and mastered at Green Door Studio, Glasgow. Featuring ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’ and ‘Yours to Destroy’, both songs were later featured on her self-titled debut album released in 2017. Additionally, her song ‘The Devil’s Daughter’ would go on to be featured on the soundtracks to both Riverdale ("Chapter Twenty Five: The Wicked and the Divine") and the 2020 film, The Grudge. After continuing to work with her husband Dale on both their solo work and in the experimental group And Yet It Moves (including their alter-ago Droem), until he tragically passed away from brain cancer in September 2018, Laura has since gone on to work with fellow Glasgow artists Natalie Pryce and Boab as a guest vocalist, as well as becoming an activist for brain cancer awareness. ‘This Scottish singer songwriter’s emotional torch songs sound like the soundtrack to a gothic Wild West movie, and they’re utterly immersive’ – (Breaking More Waves) “Laura St Jude is blessed with a rich, evocative voice that silences the room from the moment she begins” – (The Skinny) “Sultry, crisp vocals well beyond her years, St. Jude toys with the listener like a femme Black Widow does her mate just before entirely devouring him.” (National Collective)
