How I Got My Start, Album of the Year for New Vintage, Song of the Year

Bill Ainsworth. Today, she is
reinventing that classic music for new
generations with a jazz/lounge style
she calls “new vintage.” Her satiny,
three-octave voice and her three CDs
(“Keep It To Yourself,” “Necessary
Evil” and “New Vintage”) and best-of
LP “Top Shelf” have earned critical
raves and multiple awards, including
three Global Music Awards bronze
medals and five nominations each in
the 2018 Josie Awards and Artist Music Guild Awards. Laura is a FYC campaign artist at Bongo
