This long-awaited solo debut from Laura Teller is an eclectic mix of original songs that showcase her strong voice and songwriting talent.

Three Sides has a classic sound, with hints of Laura Nyro and Steely Dan, spanning rock-and-soul horn arrangements and tender piano ballads.

Laura's lyrical and vocal flexibility are tremendous, as convincing in the sentimental and romantic styles of some songs as they are in the edgy and world-weary images of others.

This dream could not have been realized without the love, support, good wishes, hard work, and open hearts of so many people. Thank you, Warren Schatz: the most generous friend on earth, who always believed and always pushed further and higher than I thought possible. Thanks to the wonderful, valiant musicians who made my songs come to life. Thank you, Valerie Kennedy: your designs make poetry of shadow and light. And to George Billard: for your perfect eye. To Phil and Edna Cowan: always there with the best of advice. Thanks to my parents Oz (who taught me to sing) and Estelle (who decided her six-year-old would like piano lessons), and my sisters Judy, Betty, and Marge: the fiercest, most loyal fans ever. Thanks to Rachel, who is my favorite niece in the whole wide world. And finally, thank you thank you to my hero, my rock, my shelter, and the love of my life, my husband Doug Duda.
