Laura Gibson's bio tells us she was a top athlete and a model student during her younger years. Now in her late twenties, the Portland based singer-songwriter is touring in support of her latest release, If You Come To Greet Me.

The Mohawk hosts her this Thursday, and if the mp3s on her MySpace page are any indication, Gibson promises to melt more than just the possible lingering ice this winter evening.
