"What could have been a good night
You turned into a good fight
And you know I wanna make it right
But baby I can't this time."
Lauren Alexander "Break My Heart"

Lauren Alexander's smooth, sultry voice and poignant lyrics are music to our ears. She hasn't yet grabbed the national spotlight, but she is part of a phenomenon of musical talent from the region that includes Miranda Lambert, Don Henley, Kacey Musgraves, Lee Ann Womack, Neil McCoy, Johnny Mathis, and Chris Tomlin — and more.
So many award-winning performers come from the region that one might say there's "something in the water" in the Upper East Side of Texas. It may be just a matter of time before Alexander's star rises too.
