The Magnetic Stage** — A Transformational Journey Through Music and Consciousness**
The Magnetic Stage by Lauren Monroe is a powerful fusion of Ambient, Americana and Percussive Rock music, with transformational narratives guiding audiences to awakening their highest potential of soul, spirit and mind.
Lauren Monroe — Lauren Monroe is a musician, speaker, and educator who has spent more than 25 years bridging music, healing, and spiritual wellness. As a pioneer in energy medicine and mind-body practices, she designs experiences that guide audiences into connection and renewal. Her work blends consciousness-shifting songs, guided narratives, and community connection to create powerful, heart-centered experiences. Backed by her powerhouse band — featuring Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, Music Director/Guitarist Joshua Ray Gooch (Shania Twain, Ringo Starr), and a lineup of world-class players who’ve worked with artists like Bruce Springsteen, The Tedeschi Trucks Band, Rae, and James Durbin — Monroe brings her vision to life on stage. The result is a visceral, dynamic performance that moves audiences both emotionally and physically. Monroe has released several acclaimed albums, including Under the Wolf Moon, Messages from Aphrodite, and Oneness Chant (with over 3 million Spotify plays). Her upcoming 2025 release, MAGNETIC, fuses percussion, spoken word, healing frequencies, and contemporary songwriting — the foundation for her groundbreaking live experience, The Magnetic Stage.
