After three and a half years of sweat, pain, tears and love – and even actual blood – Colorado singer/songwriter Lara Ruggles released her debut full-length album, Cynics & Saints, on Immersive Records in October 2015. Cynics & Saints' powerful vocals, lyrics as metaphorical as they are personal, and guitar-and-piano driven melodies take the listener on a journey that looks fearlessly into what it means to be willing to be broken; a reflection of the album's creation.
After releasing the 2011 EP Out of an Eggshell Ruggles knew she was on the right path. It was the production and recording involvement of Steven Vidaic and Mike Yach at Immersive Records that brought this substantial project to fruition.
