A Journey Through Nostalgia and Romance
Recorded at Majestic Ape Studios and other renowned Nashville spaces, Gold Rush captures Reno’s signature style: a mix of emotive storytelling and rich instrumentation.

Co-writer and producer Ben Reno describes the album as "a traveling record," ideal for cross-country journeys and nostalgic escapes. “Lauren’s powerhouse vocals, paired with timeless influences from 90s country to legends like Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, create something truly magical,” he adds.

A Rising Voice in Country Music
Born in rural Nevada to a family steeped in music and hard work, Lauren Reno’s journey has been shaped by her roots. As the daughter of a gold miner and a Capitol Records-signed musician, Reno grew up with influences ranging from Patsy Cline to Johnny Cash. She honed her craft performing in honky tonks and local venues while working long shifts at a gold mine.
Her debut EP, Seasons, released under her maiden name Lauren Dimock, showcased her acoustic Americana style. Now based in Nashville with her family, Reno continues to build on her legacy as a co-owner of the hit-making Majestic Ape Studios and a champion of raw, authentic country music.
Critics have praised Reno for her “blend of outlaw country and Americana-folk roots” and her “big, soulful vocals” that set her apart in the crowded genre.
