Lauren Cox is a twenty-five-year-old singer, writer of songs, and acolyte of the folk tradition who lives in the lush mountains of East Tennessee. She stumbled into filk by befriending Cat Faber and never looked back once she found her chosen family. She plays quite a few instruments (ukulele, banjo, guitar, mandolin, autoharp, piano, and almost anything percussive) with varying degrees of proficiency, and owns even more instruments that she will probably teach herself to play at some point.

Music is just one of her creative outlets— she is also, among other things, a film photographer who's attempting to build a darkroom with her dad, a poet, and an artist. She holds a BA in Photography with a minor in Creative Writing, and with that degree she now works as a server in a fine dining Italian restaurant. She lives with her fiancée Emma (a lover of ecology and video games), and three cats (Ansel, Henri, and Alli) in a house that they (Lauren and Emma, not the freeloading cats) bought together last year.

For the fourth year in a row, she's beyond honored and rather bewildered to have been nominated for a Pegasus, but inexpressibly grateful nonetheless. She cannot wait to FINALLY hug all of her chosen family in person at OVFF.

amber streetlight birds through the window
made their home in her flyaway hairs
shrouding her, surrounding her—a halo, a glow
kissing every last strand as i stared
wondering just what i'd done to deserve her
as the sight snatched the breath from my lungs
and my heart through the tears saw a great golden blur
and it knew and it knew she's the one

amber streetlight birds through the window
made their home in her flyaway hairs
shrouding her, surrounding her—a halo, a glow
kissing every last strand as i stared
wondering just what i'd done to deserve her
as the sight snatched the breath from my lungs
and my heart through the tears saw a great golden blur
and it knew and it knew she's the one

oh, my heart through the tears saw a great golden blur
and i knew, and i know you're the one
