Happy Birthday, Laura Veirs! May your day be as timeless and captivating as "Carbon Glacier," yet filled with fewer glaciers melting on the cake. Your music has enchanted critics and fans alike—proving that meteors aren't just fleeting moments in space but lasting impressions of brilliance.

From crafting poetic melodies to capturing hearts since 2005's acclaimed "Year of Meteors," you've consistently reminded us why indie folk is best served warm—with a dash of wit. Here's hoping this birthday brings you more applause than awkward stage banter, endless inspiration for new songs, and enough candles to illuminate another stellar year ahead!
