Lauren Falls is a sought-after bassist, composer, and bandleader who over the last decade has  been making her mark both on the Toronto and New York jazz scenes. Ms. Falls has an  undeniably strong command of the bass and is in demand both as a sidewoman and  bandleader. As a composer and arranger, she creates music that is melodically enticing and  harmonically entrancing. Her compositions stem from the jazz tradition with modern elements  of rock, pop, and folk woven throughout. Her recent record release, “A Little Louder Now,” was  nominated for a Juno Award. 

Lauren has toured North America and Europe with performances at the Kennedy Center and at  jazz festivals including The Mary Lous Williams Jazz Festival in Washington DC, Ottawa  International Jazz Festival, and Toronto Jazz Festival to name a few. You will find her in Toronto  at venues such as The Rex, The Jazz Bistro, Lula Lounge, and in New York at venues such as  Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, Smalls, and 55 Bar. Recently Lauren performed as part of Jake  Epstein’s Mirvish production “Boy Falls From The Sky,” which was nominated for Six Dora  Awards.  

In 2020, Ms. Falls was a finalist for the Toronto Arts Council Emerging Artist Award and has  been the recipient of multiple Canada Council Grants. She has been an artist-in-residence at  The Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program and The Ravinia Steans Institute. She holds a Master's  Degree from the Manhattan School of Music and a Bachelor's Degree from Humber College.  Lauren is currently on faculty at Humber College.
