About Laura Benitez

Laura Benitez is a singer, songwriter, and the founder of Bay Area-based country band Laura Benitez and the Heartache. Her songs use the three chord tools of country music to tell the simple, unvarnished truth about love, too much whiskey, and the call of the road. Laura and her band have played festivals and clubs all over the West Coast and as far away as Nashville, TN. Her song "Our Remember Whens," was awarded an Honorable Mention in the American Songwriter Magazine Lyric Contest in January of 2016. Nothing is better than sharing music and connecting with an audience.

We hired Laura for an event at the Silverado Napa last week. She was great to work with in setting up the event. Very responsive. She was on time and the attendees loved her music. We would definitely re-hire if in the area again.

Laura came by to play for our intimate crowd for my daughter’s birthday party. We had about 30 to 40 guest come and go thru the night. She played (per my request) mostly country music and some Xmas music. As life is about experiences my daughter will remember this forever esp since we have this on video. Laura has an amazing and soothing voice. She is very professional and my guests loved her music!

Laura was perfect! We hired her for our second annual winery harvest party. 80 to 100 people attended. She sounded perfect out at our barn patio and everyone loved listening to her talented guitar and vocals. She was very responsive and professional. Beautiful voice would definitely hire again! Thank you Laura for helping make the evening so magical!

Laura was great! She was easy to communicate with through Thumbtack and replied to all of my questions in a very timely manner. She was a big hit at our 3 year old's birthday party. Thanks Laura! Lauren
