Lazarus Pearl is a Eugene-based singer-songwriter, producer, and drag king. Their music is a heady cocktail of folk, punk, and dream pop. Lazarus's songs range in topics from religion to sexuality to the surveillance state, with pop hooks and sticky melodies. Their soulful vibrato, in turns both rough and delicate, rides on
chunky mandolin riffs that can cut through the din of a busy street.

Raised in a Catholic family, Lazarus began their songwriting journey at 14, penning hymns following a mystical experience. Later they attempted to join a convent, but were rejected for being queer. Life goes on, however, and Lazarus kept writing, eventually moving to and falling in love with the city of Eugene. They started playing shows and performing in drag. Today, Lazarus loves busking, sequins, their community, and themself, finally. Their first studio EP, The
Kingdom of God is a Whitewashed Tomb, released to streaming 10/7.
