Laura Hutt

Laura Hutt grew up in the shadow of her grandfather's failed jazz empire, watching his dreams dissolve into whiskey and regret in their cramped apartment above a shuttered music venue. At fourteen, she discovered that her nimble fingers—once destined for classical piano by her overbearing mother—possessed a natural affinity for the bass guitar, an instrument that seemed to speak in the language of rebellion she craved. She taught herself by sneaking into underground clubs at night, using her street smarts and quick wit to slip past bouncers and absorb the raw energy of every band that took the stage. When the legendary rock group Stink Finger lost their bassist to a mysterious disappearance, Laura saw her chance and seized it with the cunning of a seasoned thief, forging credentials and delivering an audition so electrifying that the band couldn't deny her talent. Now, as the final bassist for the band—a position she knows is cursed by its predecessors' fates—she walks a dangerous line between the intoxicating freedom of stardom and the moral compromises required to survive in an industry built on exploitation and excess. Her chaotic spirit refuses to play by anyone's rules, using her platform to expose the corruption she discovers backstage while simultaneously stealing hearts with her hypnotic bass lines that seem to unlock something primal in every listener.
