Music has long been present in the life of Lauren Price Napier.  Growing up she learned to sing duet-style harmony with her twin sister, Leanna, by listening to their parents sing together. Although Lauren and Leanna were gifted instruments as children, it wasn’t until they attended a few workshops and festivals in their high school years and saw some of their favorite artists performing live that the girls began to take a strong interest in bluegrass music.

Lauren holds the role of co-founder, mandolinist, and vocalist with The Price Sisters band – most of her professional work in the music industry comes from within that position. While still in college, Lauren and Leanna signed with Rebel Records, released an EP, and subsequently began touring as The Price Sisters. The Sisters’ released their first full-length album for Rebel, “A Heart Never Knows,” in spring of 2018. Fronted by Lauren and Leanna, The Price Sisters five-piece band to-date has performed at numerous venues and festivals across the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Lauren has been a five-time instructor with the Monroe Mandolin Camp, mandolin teacher at the DelFest Academy, Camp Bluegrass, the Bobby Osborne Mandolin Roundup, and workshop-leader at various festivals where The Price Sisters have performed; she has also hosted or been a guest on several virtual mandolin workshops. Lauren has worked as an artist-in-residence with the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum and in June of 2019, was featured for an interview on Mandolin Cafe. In 2019, she was nominated for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Momentum Vocalist of the Year, in addition to The Price Sisters’ band nomination for Momentum Band of the Year, and in 2020 was nominated for Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year. Presently, Lauren, Leanna, and their band are working on a new album to be released as their debut on McCoury Music. When she’s not on the road performing, Lauren teaches online, in-person, and private instrumental lessons for children and adults.
