Artist History The Laura Preble Band started in 1998, with the recording of Laura's C.D. of original compositions "Voices in My Head." Laura's husband, Chris, assisted in the production of the C.D. After many requests to perform live, Laura and Chris put together the L.P.B. They now play in San Diego and Orange counties, and would play and tour more if they didn't have those pesky "day jobs."
