Lauren Harris — daughter of
IRON MAIDEN bassist
Steve Harris — has made the song
"Steal Your Fire" available for download from her
MySpace page.
Harris
is currently on the road supporting MAIDEN on their Somewhere Back In
Time World Tour 2008. She will also play a hadlining show on February
23 at the Hard Rock Café in Mexico City, Mexico.
Lauren Harris recently inked a deal with
Demolition Records. Her debut CD, produced by
Tommy McWilliams (
GLORIA ESTEFAN,
JON SECADA,
LINDSEY LOHAN), will be released later in the year.
Lauren Harris launched her career in 2005 after being talent spotted by legendary British producer-writer-artist
Russ Ballard who had no idea she was the daughter of
Steve Harris.
Following the successful studio session with
Russ,
Lauren assembled a live band and proceeded to play a series of shows around Florida in the USA and in her native UK.
As word began to circulate around the Internet,
Lauren received her first big break in May 2006 when she supported rock legend
ALICE COOPER in Sheffield. Her web site was bombarded with new visitors and encouraged by this initial success, the summer of 2006 saw
Lauren and her band spread their wings further, playing the prestigious
outdoor festival circuit throughout Europe, including high-profile
appearances at the German
Rock Am Ring and
Rock Im Park shows as well as the UK and Dublin
Download festivals.
Following these concerts, with word spreading and crowds growing,
Lauren could have taken the opportunity to take a break — instead she took on
her biggest challenge yet — playing stadiums across the world
supporting
IRON MAIDEN including such exotic places as the Budokan in Tokyo,
Desert Rock Festival in Dubai and Bangalore, India, where
Lauren made history as the first woman to front a rock band in concert! She is currently in Australia supporting
IRON MAIDEN on their first tour of the continent in 16 years
Things couldn’t have been moving faster for
Lauren, following a tour with
THE ANSWER in early 2007, she was then approached to be main support for
WITHIN TEMPTATION, which was a huge success, attracting rave reviews. For the summer, once again,
Lauren played some of the largest outdoor festivals in Europe alongside rock heavyweights such as
HEAVEN AND HELL,
KORN and
STONE SOUR, including a dazzling set at the UK
